File question


Recommended Posts

Yes,  I lost several files on my external hard drive and I used a service to get them back, but now they won't open in photoshop. All the Df files that is.

With data recovery, it pulls together bits and pieces and tries to assemble them in what it thinks is a master file. Unfortunately, It doesn't always work. You could try renaming one as TestFile01.TIFF and see what happens. Those files you are looking for might be gone for good. That said, I would try finding another filename that is similar and one that you recognize and try and open that one. Often with data recovery, you will have 5-10 versions of the same file and they each have their own file extension, e.g., .dng, .jpg, .gif. cr2, etc.

They're only around 7MB.

You are correct, they aren't full .cr2 files. It's just what the data recovery software that the service used and it named them that.
