Photos represent such a thin sliver of time. 1/30th of a second is all it takes to record most photos; and, a great photo can quickly become a family treasure.  Losing that digital picture can be heart wrenching and being a digital file, it’s easy to do.

How often have you sent or received a photo that was really terrific, only to later lose track of it? Computers get stolen, dropped or just stop working. There are unfortunately umpteen thousand ways to lose digital data; but, if it’s digital photos you’re looking for, there’s a simple way to retrieve them.
