Atlanta, GA December 20, 2007 – New photo recovery software designed to assist with a variety of operations – this Digital Media recovery software — can help when disaster strikes. Disk Doctors has launched Digital Media Recovery, powerful software is designed to retrieve deleted, or corrupted, files from Memory Cards, USB Storage devices and hard drives.
What if you were to accidentally delete the photos and videos from your wedding? What if the memory card with your holiday pictures were to suddenly stop working? Or what if your entire collection of mp3 files were to get wiped out by mistake? And all without a back-up?
“In a digital age when most of us depend on digital media to store our memories, our music, we are prone to situations like those above. That is, sometimes, the stuff nightmares are made of,” said Omer Faiyaz, VP Marketing with Disk Doctors. “Today, most of us believe in just posting picture files onto a Snapfish or a Picasa, instead of printing them out in a time-honored fashion, or storing music on a memory card that can be slotted into a phone for easy listening. And with the convenience come all of those little slips that can lead to information loss. In some cases the loss is trivial, so we are not too inconvenienced. But often it is extremely important, either personally or professional.”
This application comes packed with advanced features, an easy-to-use interface, and has support for RAW photographic files. A must-have for SOHOs, Corporates and professional photographers.
Features for this version include a fast thumbnail-viewer, enhanced support for RAW formats as well as an option to burn recovered files directly onto CD / DVD media (this last feature depends on the options permitted by your hardware).
For music and video files, the new application is equipped with a specially crafted retrieval engine that can identify each fragment of a lost or deleted mp3 or mpeg (mpg) file; it creates a virtual map to determine the file size that results in a working file, whereas existing retrieval applications recoup only fragments or parts of music and video files.
The currently launched version of the software reclaims lost or deleted pictures, music and video files from Memory Sticks, Flash Cards, Sony Memory Stick, IBM Micro Drive, SD Cards, MMC Cards, XD Cards, Secure Digital Card, Zip Disks and Mini Disks. It comes specially designed with support for all major camera brands - Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony & Minolta, among others.

Disk Doctors Photo Recovery software recovers Nikon RAW NEF files

The NEF File format is the most popular file format used by Nikon cameras, some of most popular professional models are Nikon D1x, D2x and D3x. Even the semi pro range also support NEF format such as D40, D70, D100, 200 and 300.
The raw image file contains simply processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera. A NEF file is an un-processed image which requires bitmap graphics editor for further processing. Raw image files are also referred to as digital negatives. Internally like some of the other popular raw image formats, NEF file also has an embedded TIFF file which after processing can be saved in a desired image file format.
Unlike most commonly available digital media recovery applications, Disk Doctors Digital Media Recovery – Photo Recovery utility is much ahead with identifying a NEF file and recovering it. There is a separate algorithm for recovering NEF files which has a capability to differentiate between NEF formats based on the camera model number and than further picks unique tags of TIFF files like a pin tagging balls with it, eventually getting file recovered.
Recovered files in most cases are restored with all important features which is required by a raw converter in a wide-gamut internal color space where precise adjustments can be made before conversion to an RGB file format such as TIFF or JPEG for storage, printing, or further use.
