As most of us already know, Judy ( Jutilda) has won her first ribbon. It was an absolutely well deserved blue on an amazing image entered to the DPC Cinema II challenge.
Unfortunately, she faces a possible DQ because the original jpg file had been accidentally modified at the time of rotating it to see it in the Windows Viewer prior to any editing.
In the image page,  MAK posted this:

I've heard of software that can do what MAK says but I am not familiar with the use of it.
If someone out there has any knowledge on data recovery from a memory card (software, tutorials, past experience or any kind of useful guidance) you may want to share it with Judy (here or via pm to her). It might help her to save the ribbon.

Didn't she say that the recovery software founjd the image still on the card?
If so, shouldn't you be able to pick it off the card and right into a folder on her hard drive?

I have not found any comment from her about that, otherwise I would have not opened this thread :-). When, where did she say that? |

If you have the modified image, and an example of an unmodified image, you should be able to reverse the change (basically, reset the values to what are expected). I would suggest looking at tools like jhead or exif_tool, although any neighborhood computer geek should be able to help you.

From reading the earlier thread, there is no chance of getting the image directly from the card at this point without doing something low-level involving magnets (it's really not worth going there).
Of course, this would only return the "original" image if the modification didn't tweak the image at all. A proper way of rotating a JPEG would not re-encode the image, so there would be no change in the data (size or quality), and you could end-up with the same, original, image in this way. If the software that edited the file did something stupid (open the file, rotate it, then re-encode it to save it) you're out of luck, and you'll never get the original data back. |

Modifying the EXIF is a strict DPC no-no, and can get you not only suspended but permanently banned. Please don't. |

As long as the actual file data on the card has not been over-written (i.e. completely "wrapped" with new data since the shoot in question), Recuva should be able to recover it. Easy-breezy -- just install, run and follow the directions.

It sounds like what she did was open the image from the card (prior to copying the images to another medium). In this case, it's likely--especially if there were many exposures--that the operating system would have overwritten enough of the original file data that it's not recoverable. However, I certainly don't want to dissuade any reasonable solution such as the one you suggested. |

Maybe if everyone starts a "We Love Jutilda" thread and threaten to keep running them 'til they let her keep her ribbon......8>)
