A Quick Guide to Adroit Photo Recovery
- 1. Open Adroit Photo Recovery:Double click on the shortcut on your Desktop to open Adroit Photo Recovery. The main screen will appear as shown below. It is highly recommended that no other program be running while recovering your photos.
- 2. Select a Drive:Click on the drive letter or name on the left to select the drive to recover photos from. If you are recovering photos from a USB stick or an external hard drive you may plug that in now and select it when it appears.
- 3. Start the Recovery:Click on Recover My Photos. Sit back and watch the thumbnails as Adroit recovers your photos. Note that it may take a few minutes before the thumbnails start showing.
- 4. Are We There Yet?Progress bars on top of the window and Remaining Time label at the bottom-left corner of the window give an estimated completion of the recovery process. If your drive is very large (hundreds of giga-bytes), recovery may take a while.
- 5. Recovery Complete:When recovery is complete Adroit identifies the quality of the recovery and groups the recovered photos into three tabs: Not Deleted, Fully Recovered and Partially Recovered. Fully recovered photos are verified by Adroit to be a complete and valid recovery whereas partially recovered photos are just that: partial. Not Deleted photos are photos that are complete and were never deleted.
Finding the photos you want
To determine if specific photos were recovered when there are hundreds, if not thousands of recovered photos, you need to use our unique grouping feature. Photos within each tab can be grouped by date, size and type of camera. Simply select how you would like the photos grouped. You can left-click on a thumbnail group to view all the photos in the group in our built-in photo viewer. You can right-click on a thumbnail group to save all the photos in the group. To learn more about using grouping to find your photos (with examples), please click here.
- 6. Save the Photos:Simply click on the Buy Now and Save button to save all recovered photos. This will bring up a dialog box with multiple options for purchasing and registering the product. The first option is the quickest and easiest. Once you have purchased a registration key, you can then save the photos to another disk.
- 7. Email Support:If you encounter any problem during this whole process, please email us at support@digital-assembly.com. We would be delighted to help you.
