If you’ve ever accidentally deleted pictures from your digital cameras memory card, you’re not alone. That feeling of dread when you forever lose photographic evidence of memories and experiences in digital form can sometimes be resolved though – so don’t freak out quite yet! Using an excellent free tool called Exif UnTrasher, Mac OS X users can attempt to recover deleted images from memory cards, USB drives, and other volumes, and it works pretty well as long as you can mount the volume, card, or drive that the pictures were deleted from. Using Exif UnTrasher to recover deleted images from camera memory cards or various disk drives is pretty simple, here’s how it works: There are a few caveats; it only works with JPG (JPEG) files, you have to be able to mount the digital cameras memory card as a volume on your Mac (or the drive itself), which some cameras can do but others can’t. If your camera doesn’t support mounting of media, you can always just use an external card reader which works just as well.

Or, for Macs that have the internal SD card readers built-in to them, you can plug the memory card into that and it will probably work too. Ashley Furniture 799 RoomThe other important thing?

Likewise, if you import your pictures into Photos for Mac and are now trying to undelete pictures from the Photos app in OS X, you can do that too, and directly from Photos app with a built-in Recovery feature.
