The card reader can be purchased from online shops like Amazon and E Bay. The card reader has been found to be a very effective hardware for every sort of data recovery and photo recovery. When the card reader is connected to the computer, the computer should detect it as a drive.

Special software is also needed for photo recovery. Once the memory card has been placed inside the card reader, the step that should follow is to download special picture recovery software. Popular brands of photo recovery software include ZAR, Recuva and stellar software for photo recovery.

After photo recovery software has been downloaded, it should be installed just as normal software.

After specifying these details, the scanning process will begin. The scanning process will complete by recovering the specified photos in separate thumbnails.

The process followed so as to retrieve deleted pictures is an easy process as stated above. If the above process is followed properly, retrieving deleted photos will be an easy affair. With various free photo retrieval software s available online, photo retrieval is a zero cost process.
