JpegDigger Description
Note: You need to use “JpegDigger” to open the archive.
Files can easily become corrupt because of various reasons you didn’t even have to do with. This is mostly because of faulty storage devices, and it’s pretty frustrating if it happens to your freshly taken pictures. In this regard, JpegDigger comes as a lightweight tool to help you recover images from corrupt RAW camera shots.
Accepts RAW pictures from various cameras
On the bright side of things, the application saves you the entire time and effort required to go through a setup process. As such, it’s ready to go from the moment download is done, and you can even have it stored on a USB flash drive in case you want or need to use it on other computers than your own.
The core feature of the application is an attempt to extract the JPEG picture from corrupt RAW files. Support is impressive, and you’re able to target anything under formats like NEF, CR2, CRW, ORF, ARW, SRW, PEF, DNG, 3FR, RAF, and RW2. In other words, nearly anything from Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Samsung, Pentax, Adobe, Hasselblad, Fuji, and Lumix needs to work.
Grabs JPEG pictures from RAW file header
The whole operation is guided by a couple of windows. The first step is to select the location of your RAW pictures through the built-in dialog. The second and last step is to define the search parameters. You need to choose the appropriate format, as well as a scan depth. Needless to say that the higher the depth value the more chances of success, but also the longer detection takes.
The process runs in a command line window which displays all operation steps. A prompt shows up in the end to let you know how many files got saved and where they are located. Note that the application can only retrieve JPEG files if they are embedded in the header of the RAW picture.
On an ending note
To sum it up, JpegDigger comes as a lightweight tool which attempts to quickly grab images from corrupt RAW camera shots. The JPEG component needs to be embedded in the RAW file header, which can come from a variety of camera makes and models.
