Due to unforseen circumstances I had to ask myself this question today:
How do I Recover Deleted Photos from an SD Card ?
Update:
Pandora Recovery 2.1.1
Pandora Recovery is a powerful free tool that provides its users an effective way to attempt recovery of permanently deleted files.

The following is a selection of pieces of information that I am looking at:
A deleted file is essentially an area on disk designated as free and ready to accept data (such as contents of some other file). Luckily, unless the area has already been overwritten, it still holds the contents of the deleted file. Due to this fact it is possible to undelete files.
This fact also dictates the following procedure for using FreeUndelete:
Stop any activity on the disk you are going to undelete files from! Remember that writing to that disk can damage the contents of the deleted files. Examples of disastrous activity include: copying files to the disk, installing programs there or running programs that use the disk as their swap media.
Download and install FreeUndelete.

Whenever possible, save the setup executable and install the program to a disk that does not hold files you need to undelete.
Run and use FreeUndelete.
Tip: It is common that the only drive user has is C: and this is also the drive from where files need to be undeleted. In that case a good solution is using a USB flash drive as FreeUndelete download and install destination.

Stellar Photo Recovery is an option that also recovers AVI movies, but is not a free option

Norton File Recover to do this. There are a lot of file recovery programs out there – some of them are even free. Try dropping into dos and using dos’s recover command if you’re really stuck.

I suggest you use DataRecoveryWizard to recover your data.
The software provides very useful functions for data recovery:
DeleteRecovery, FormatRecovery, AdvancedRecovery, RawRecovery.
This program is an efficient disk recovery software providing
you a complete answer to data loss.
First thing I recommend you download the demo version of
DataRecoveryWizard. (http://www.easeus.com/download.htm)
Run the program and select the recovery mode “DeletedRecovery”,
or “FormatRecovery”, or “AdvancedRecovery”.

To recover digital images from storage (typically a memory card) you need to connect the storage to the PC, download, install, and start ZAR, then follow step-by-step instructions below.
We recommend to use a card reader device, rather than to connect a digital camera to the computer.

Download ZAR demo. You do not need a paid version of ZAR to do image recovery. This set of functions is provided free of charge.

I need to recover a deleted photo from my motorola droid. Problem is, it is a naked picture and I can’t find a software that will restore it.
Photo recovery options are many, but it is essential to pick the right software that can not only retrieve deleted photos, but can do it with least effort. Hence the user has to validate more than just one parameter.
