The most vulnerable moment in our photo workflow is when we first capture an image, and the camera writes it to a memory card. The fate of that picture rests in the hands of a $30, plastic-encased accessory.

In my latest lynda.com title, Recovering Photos from Memory Cards, I show you how to protect your captured images, and if necessary, recover them if something goes wrong.

You can watch the introduction movie to get a feel for the course. Topics include:

• When the Worst Happens: Recovery Strategies
• A Closer Look at Photo-Recovery Software
• Avoiding Problems
• The Difference Between Erasing and Formatting
• Formatting: In the Camera or the Computer?

Even though this is a serious topic, it's a fun course. I hope you give it a look.
