-------- Original Message --------
I usually scroll through the pictures I've just taken, on the way home,
while they are still in the camera. At least ten percent get deleted
on the spot, as I can see on the 3" screen that they are blurry or
not-so-hot. Yesterday as I was driving and deleting, I inadvertently
hit the wrong combination of buttons and deleted this picture of a
(summer form) Sleepy Orange. I had seen it long enough to know that it
was pretty good, and since I don't really
have any decent photos of a sf SO, I was quite frustrated with myself.
I
decided to try and recover the shot.
Much Google-ing brought me to some free software from Germany called PC
Smart Recovery

Anyway, I just followed the instructions and "voila" it found all the
deleted photos on the SD card.
Maybe you guys do it all the time, for me it was a first, so I was
quite pleased.
The one caution that was well emphasized, was to not take any more
photos on the SD card that you want to recover from, as it might write
over the photos you are trying to salvage.
