LOST FILES WITHIN BRIDGE

Hey,

Going to try to give as much information as possible.

I shot a session through Capture Pro and all imagery was saved in to a session file on my MacBook hardrive ( operating Mojave 10.14.3 ). All imagery was saved and fine, I went to generate a contact sheet through Bridge and I believe I must have pressed a short cut that deleted the files out of Bridge but in doing so it removed them from my Macbook entirely.

They are not in the trash on the system, it was emptied automatically is what I'm presuming. I have run recovery software ( EASEUS DATA RECOVERY ) and it pulls through the imagery data but not the images themselves.

I've seen other people discussing the issue of Bridge removing files from a hardrive but I've not seen any back steps to take to recover. If there is any steps someone can suggest I would be really appreciate it.

The way you delete files using Bridge is pretty obvious, the Delete key. If you didn't press that then something else happened.

HI Bethelstone,

I've not used CaptureOne, can I assume that you were shooting tethered with it?

I have shot tethered through LR and when I do that with my Canon, it both sends the files off to my computer AS WELL AS places the images on the card in my camera. That is one place to look.

I have never had Bridge lose my images before so I've never had to use any data recovery for such files. I'm NOT saying that this cannot happen, just that I've never experienced it (and I've used Bridge since version 1.

As I'm sure you know, when files are deleted, the data is still on the computer, just a few bytes of data identifying where the file was ocated has been removed. That's what file recovery software looks for: the data, not the location flag.

I have a hunch that you are on a PC so I cannot provide ANY help on places of where to look, my Mac's nooks and crannies of where things could be dumped are radically different than your nooks and crannies.

However, for any PC folks to help you they will need:

Which version of your OS do you have in your computer and please verify which release of Bridge you are using.

Good luck!
