🧠 Photographer Data Recovery FAQs

Can you recover deleted RAW files from SD/CF cards?
Yes — especially if they haven’t been overwritten. We support all major card formats.

Will I get my Lightroom catalog back?
We’ll attempt full .LRCAT recovery with previews, edits, flags and metadata intact.

Do you recover from water-damaged storage?
Yes — but stop using the drive immediately and bring it in as-is for best results.
