Greetings. A first post that was inspired by Asher. I ran into him around two weeks ago at the Disney Hall as he was rounding up a group for a morning shoot (I presume). In response to my query of him, he suggested I join this spot and make a posting about my problem.
Three weeks ago while installing Photoshop CS3 Extended on my new laptop (HP Pavillion dv9000 PC with a Vista operating system), my impatience, coupled with a massive senior moment, succeeded in my inadvertently loosing ALL of my pictures through the recycle bin.
I still have thumbnails of my pictures in my Photoshop Elements 4, but, of course, there are no files behind them. Asher told me if I went to a commercial establishment to have them try retrieval, I'd have to hold off my retirement for a few years to cover the cost.
So mates...any suggestions as to how I should proceed in my quest to return my photos from the darker regions somewhere in my hard drive? I was not able to restore to a date before this calamity as I had blithely proceeded to install Lightroom and other sundry programs, unaware that each addition was going to make it harder to retrieve.
I thank you in advance,
Trent G. Anderson
