📷 Common RAW Recovery Scenarios

  • Accidental deletion of full shoot folders

🛠️ Why RAW Files Are Tricky – And How We Handle Them

RAW files are uncompressed and complex, requiring expert tools and methods for recovery. Our lab uses:

  • Write-blocked hardware-level readers
  • Photo-specific forensic tools (e.g. PhotoRec, R-Studio, UFS Explorer)
  • Bit-level carving techniques to reconstruct file headers
  • Cleanroom-level diagnostics for physically damaged storage
