Recuva does not restore pictures like *.bmp *.gif *jpg.


OK.
I get the file but it is not usable.
You cannot open it with programs like ACDsee or Windows picture viewer.

I had the same experience with "Restoration".

It does Six. There was a bug in the older versions, which version are you using? The older version would restore the file but it had zero bytes. ;)

If you open the Info tab for the file, does it say that the file has been overwritten?

It does not work always.

It works, it is a fresh deleted picture.

It is an older one. No preview available but status excellent.
If I restore it I can open it with ACDSee but I have a blank page.
