Recovering deleted digital photos?

Does anyone know if you can recover deleted digital photos from a
compact flash card? I accidentally deleted some family photos from the
holidays. Are they gone forever? Thanks in advance for any input you
may have!

Those two are not free. If you are prepared to register, PhotoRescue is
excellent and you can evaluate (but not save) prior to purchase. I looked
at:
http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/welcome.htm
and
http://www.vaiosoft.com/products/recoverymanager.html
they both will recover photo images but one was (in my opinion) better than
the other. Unfortunately I can't recall which and I don't have them
installed, but both are free so try both. I already had purchased
PhotoRescue before I learned freeware was available.

Where exactly did the OP say he wanted "Free" software?
The links given would have let him see if he "could" recover his files.
Exactly what he was asking about.
The reference to google would have shown he could get loads of undeleters
for free.
I'm not in the habit of spoon feeding adults!

If you have deleted the images or even formatted the card you can still
recover the images so long as you haven't over-written the card with
new data.

Kim Komando had this to say about recovery programs:

and she also recommended JUFSOFT,

Her recommendations usually hold water.

Have a look at the thread "Recovering deleted digital photos?" that was
posted this morning. Loads of options.

Sorry wrong thread.

I had a similar problem recently - accidentally erased the SD card for
my new Canon A620 when I meant to erase the CF card for my old A70. PC
Inspector File Recovery
(http://www.pcinspector.de/download.a...#file_recovery) was
able to recover about 2/3 of the photos. It's free. It claimed to
recover all of them but several files were corrupted and when opened in
Photoshop only had part of the image. I tried 4 different programs and
they all gave the exact same results.

When you edit in-camera, and take more pictures, you begin to fragment
the FAT, and automatic recovery programs can't deal with this. With a
fair amount of manual labour you can recover more files, but this needs
special "forensic" software and a level of training that you probably
are unwilling to undergo.

Advice: buy more cards and delete the junk _after_ you copy it out of
the camera.
