I can understand that after all, it probably did cost quite a bit of money to develop the program.
But of course I couldn't enter them into a new folder on my backup drive without purchasing the program. I tried the Standard free trial version, and it scanned my C drive very quickly, apparently recovering every photo that was deleted.
And the company clearly states that it will give a full refund within 30 days if the buyer isn't satisfied with the product. Having already gotten a zillion awards, the $50 version promises to not only recover all photos of any format, but to repair corrupted files. I next tried a recovery program from CCleaner, the free version, but when the software notified me that it would need 9 hours to scan my system, I deleted it from my computer.īut I've found a new program that apparently was only released last month, called Stellar Photo Recovery. To try to get them back I first called an 877 service, which told me that my first hour would cost $130, with each additional hour costing $99.
A large number of them were backed up on an external drive, but certainly not all. But far worse, not only were the few images from this sub-folder deleted, so too was every one of the photographs (psd., TIFF, jpeg and RAW) that I had on my C drive.
I didn't think they would be completely wiped off of my computer's hard drive. The message I received was that the images would be deleted permanently, but I stupidly assumed that they would be deleted only from Luminar's library. After satisfying myself that it worked I decided to delete the folder from Luminar. In trying out Luminar 4's Library commands for my Windows 10 desktop computer I submitted a small sub-folder into their software.
