If you’re reading this article because you just accidentally erased a card and searched the Web for a solution, take a breath and know that it’s highly likely you’ll get your photos back. Camera manufacturers don’t make the distinction easier, since some models, such as my Nikon D90, refer to erasing the card as “formatting,” but the photos are still recoverable. Some cameras can optionally perform a low-level format of a card, which overwrites all the card’s data. In this case, I was confident I could get the photos, since I hadn’t shot any new images since erasing the card. The blocks on the memory are marked as recordable, so new data writes over the old. When a camera or computer typically erases a memory card, the images aren’t actually deleted. After performing the requisite forehead slapping, I went in search of software that would get my pictures back. Yes, I did that bone-headed memory card thing: I erased one of my camera’s SD cards before I transferred the photos to my Mac.
