<description><![CDATA[#16 @Nassem
True enough a .bmp is no replacement for a photoshop file.. but it's BETTER THAN NOTHING ISN'T IT ?  If your precious photos were toast, and this could get you some of them back, even as a flat .BMP... I'd be happy about it. 

I don't know if this will work or not, b/c like most of you I have nothing corrupted at the moment to try it on- but I'm going to install it as a "just in case" and maybe someday I can try it out.

<description><![CDATA[This sounds like a great concept.  *Keyword*, "sounds".... I installed program without a problem on Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I had to actually create the output folder, but, no biggie.

I ran a handful of corrupted images through the software.  I got the images off my gf's SD card.  They had been deleted and I used another GOTD program to fully recover 90% of them.  The images basically looked like the tracking was off on a VCR or that "adult" channel you squinted at when you were a kid, that your parents didn't get on cable, but, if you looked reeeeally hard, you could see something....

Anyways, one file I ran through returned as still unopenable and corrupt.  The others were exactly the same as I had saved them.  I'm not going to give this program too hard of a time, because, I didn't use the original media that the images came from.  I think that if I were able to use the original SD card then I may get better results....  I suppose I have another mission: to get the SD card again.

Any other positive results would be great to hear!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@ 41 - Andrew, you cannot save a graphics file with notepad.  Regardless of the extension you use (.gif, .jpg, .bmp, etc.), it will save as a text file.  Other programs will then think it is some text an not recognize it as graphic data of any format or style.  This may explain why you have been unsuccessful at recovery of you "induced" errors.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#3 Whiterabbit aka Stephen:

I have rescued hundreds of DVDs with CRC error using ISO Buster (v2.2) and an old slow DVD drive. My experience is that the problem becomes more severe when the DVD drive becomes hot. Older drives spin slower, and tend to get less hot. ISO Buster stops with a pop-up box when it encounters reading problems. Then I just press the eject button on the DVD drive and leave the program waiting until the drive and the DVD can cool down. After a few minutes I insert the DVD and press retry. This trick has worked on all my old odd brand DVDs. These days I only use Verbatim AZO discs. Those have worked fine for more than 5 years now. Other brands have given CRC errors after one or two years. I have noticed others recommending Isopuzzle. You can try both apps combined with waiting to cool the drive and DVD. Good luck. Hope you can recover your pictures.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've seen a number of remarks about: how can JPEG's get corrupted.. Well I had this exact problem, where for quite a few of my pictures the colors where completely wrong. Faces of persons had a blue color, backgrounds had a strange green color... using photoshop and a few other programs could not help restore the pictures in their old glory, and these pictures where very dear to me. 
I couldn't find anything on the internet that could solve my problem.
I just tried picturedoctor on these photos (I did not believe this could work at first either) and to my surprise this program managed to restore all these pictures!
Many thanks to GAOTD (and the developer of this program) for helping me out!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[too bad my main system is down, I've got a few hundred corrupted jpegs from early learning problems on the hp m517- but those are on a dvd-r awaiting some type of fix. this laptop only has a cd drive.


as far as thumbnails good/image bad in jpg files, there is a stored thumbnail before the main image data that most graphics programs use by default because it's faster than reading the whole image and creating thumbnails. 


I'm installing this program for later testing but not too hopeful of it doing much beyond correcting headers- if that.

also, FWIW dvd-r is much more robust as a storage medium than cd-r; built far sturdier- so far 0% bit-rot over 1000 discs and ~5 years, cd-r 25%+ failure to one degree or another over the same period. the thin label-side laquer simply does not hold up.

unless this program outputs 24-bit per pixel bitmaps, it's pretty useless anyway- the site is a bad joke.]]></description>
