One of the biggest problems if not the biggest problem when attempting any type data recovery is sorting through the hundreds of thousands of files made available for rescue. It is all well and good to have a program that can copy from a crashed hard drive every single file to a safe secure external location but if there is no way to recognize one of those files from the next it is a wasted exercise. Mac digital photo recovery is a perfect example of this scenario.
Supposing that you discover an important image file is missing from your computer. You may have inadvertently deleted it or it may have been dropped from a file folder with a set size limit that was exceeded. Using a low grade photo recovery for Mac program will leave you with the impossible task of opening even on a preview basis thousands of files until you recognize visually the one you were after. Newer better grade Mac recovery products have built in finder functions that operate much like the original Mac OS X application to allow you to type in a file type/creator or file name and quickly locate a specific file.
