Lexar on Tuesday announced the release of Image Rescue 3, a Mac OS X and Windows utility that enables users to recover files that have been accidentally deleted or lost on flash memory cards. It costs $29.95, but is included for free on some Lexar memory products.
Image Rescue 3 works with any flash memory card, not just Lexar’s, and the company says it works regardless of memory card format. New to this release is a redesigned interface that steps you through the process of image recovery, and a link to live online tech support. It works with digital photos as well as movies and music files.
Image Rescue 3 requires Mac OS X v10.2 or later, and is included for free with Lexar’s Professional and Platinum II CompactFlash, Secure Digital and Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) memory cards.
Lexar’s Web site still referenced Image Rescue 2.0 as Macworld posted this article.
