Here's my issue and I'm wondering if someone on here can address my issue.
I used an SD card on my digital camera...took about 1100 pictures from a recent vacation...at the time... I would get previews of the images I took immediately afterwards but shortly thereafter, my camera would tell me "unable to playback image" .. stupid on my part, I didn't think anything about it and continued on.
When I put the SD card in my reader and tried loading them on the computer... I get the following message for each image... "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because either Photo Viewer doesn't support this file format, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Viewer."
Photo Viewer is up to date... the format on the images are jpgs... they all have various file sizes so there is indeed something there.... I assumed my SD card somehow got corrupted... I've tried at least 10 different image recovery software programs... with zero luck when it comes to these particular images. Either they tell me invalid files found..or no images found etc etc...
I'm at the point where I feel like my only 2 options are to take the SD card to shop and see if they can somehow recover the photos for me... or format the SD card and then try running the recover software. I currently have all the images still on the SD card and saved to my computer.... but I'm trying to take my problems to various forums to see if someone out there can help me before I either spend a bunch of money in vain... or wipe the SD card leaving no hope of recovery from there.
Thank you...
