Recover camera RAW photos on Mac
"I am using a Nikon D80 digital camera, the default format setting is the RAW format file, recently I accidentally deleted photos on my memory card, I heard that general recovery software can recover only JPG format, what kind of software can support the RAW photo recovery, thank you!"
---- from a digital camera user
A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image or motion picture film scanner. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
 When we accidentally delete/format RAW photos from camera, or photos missing with file system corrupt, with special photo recovery tool, we can recover large lost files from a digital camera like a hot knife through butter.
Disk Doctors Photo Recovery software comes to help recover every photos and high end digital SLR supported raw image file formats in a matter of minutes, due to deletion, formatting, or corruption.
But do remember: don't do anything to the camera flash memory such as formatting it and continuing shooting. If you do, no software will help you rescue your images.

Please Note: In order to save your recovered data, you need to purchase and activate the full version. Saving option will not work in demo version.
It might take a while depending on the size of the camera memory card. The bigger it is, the longer it will take to complete scanning. As long as you do not take any more data on the camera, you are able to get lost RAW photos back in a short time. The concept is actually the same as undelete camera memory cards for Mac.

Thank you! It is nice to deal with professionals! In spite of my PC being re-imaged, having several applications installed and being used daily for about a week, your product was able to recover most of my lost files!"

We found that the program discovered the folder and file structure faster than many similar programs"
