For my birthday once my wife took a digital photograph that was of a "sensitive" nature. There are no copies anywhere else, especially hard copies. My three year old son managed to find it, open it in MS Paint and scribble all over it with a paintbrush. The subsequent uneasy conversation with him aside, the photograph was an intimate gift from the woman I love so it is very meaningful to me and I have since been trying to find a way to restore it. Because of it's nature I can't send it to a professional. Too much of it was altered to allow me to restore it using Photoshop. Realizing that Jpegs are notorious for storing "useless" data, I realized that perhaps there was a way to restore the actual picture through some other means. I have used programs such as Jpeg Recovery (Perhaps the most frustrating since the original picture appears in the small previewer but I cannot restore it otherwise.) and PixRecovery to attempt to find a solution to no avail. Is there any other way, no matter how scant of the possibility of success, to retrieve or restore the original photograph? Thank you for you time and comments in advance. |
