Recovering photos: Help appreciated.

Due to a camera malfunction, some photos from the memory card were deleted. My friend and me were able to recover them with help of recovery software but some photos are grayed out(50%). The memory card was left intact and no new data was written in our knowledge. It is in the FAT file format and a 4 GB card.

Is there any way to recover the photos in their original state?

 

When I take a photo of myself with my laptop camera, what directory is it placed in?

By default, your pictures should appear in your Pictures\Camera Roll folder. If they aren't there, follow these steps to figure out where they are being saved:

1. Take a picture with the camera app.
   
2. Click the thumbnail of the picture you just took at the bottom right of the app.
   
3. When the photo viewer opens, click the three dots (...) at the top right and select "File Info".
   

A panel will then appear and it will tell you the directory where your picture is located.

If you created your account picture by going to your account settings and then selecting "create your picture -> camera", then the picture will not have been stored in your camera roll. It will be located in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures as mentioned by @kicken.

 

How can I recover deleted photos?

To recover deleted photos from your PC,
you can try the previous version option. To do so, just try these steps:

• First of all, you’ve to right-click the folder that contained the deleted files & folders
• Then, select the ‘Restore previous versions.’
• After that, in the available versions, you need to choose those deleted photos
• Lastly, click on the ‘Restore’ or drag & drop the desired version at any place on the system.

I hope this solution will help you out to get your all-important images back to your PC again. Good luck...
