I am hoping some of you may be able to help me.
I recently had a backup fail on a hard drive and it appeared the partition on the backup drive was corrupted. I therefore tried to sort it out, but somehow (and I still don't know how) I managed to delete the partition on my primary images disk containing all my images.
I was able to do a recovery using Recuva, but some of the DNGs will not import into Lightroom because it thinks they are damaged or corrupted. I presume I will be able to extract the jpeg previews because I can view them in other editors.
My questions are:
Can anyone suggest any software for repairing corrupted DNGs?
Is there an easy way to extract the Jpeg preview from a corrupted DNG?
I have seen something called Stellar Repair for photo, but it doesn't have a trial version, so I can't see if it will actually work for what I need. I don't want to shell out for something if it isn't going to work.
Thanks in anticipation.
