All you have to do next is select the files you want to save and push the Recover Selected button, after which you will have to specify the saving location. You will be able to preview the recovered files, but some formats are not yet supported. Currently, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery provides support for over 40 media file formats, like JPEG, GIF, MP3, PNG, WMA, TIFF, WAV, M4A, AVI or OGG. Every time you want to start a scanning process, you will be asked to specify the file types you would like to search for. In case you want to directly scan the drive, you will be able to save the scanning information in order to access it at a later time. When the scanning process is complete, if you are not satisfied with a particular result or want to access a device connected after the application launch, you have the possibility to easily go back to the drive list and refresh in order to make sure the most recent data is used. Also, the respective picture will become accessible at any time. If you choose the latter option, you will be able to save the image on a desired location and perform the scan on the image that will reduce the processing time. Once you have decided on a certain drive, you must double click and you will be asked if you want to directly perform Photo Recovery or create an image first. In order to recover your media files, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery requires you to follow two steps: scan the storage device (USB, hard drives, memory cards, digital camera, or any other kind of device that may contain media information) and then choose which files you want to restore. Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery also gives you the possibility to track your actions by providing easy access to the history log on the right side of the window. For every selected drive or volume, you will be able to see a graphical representation and the value of the currently used storage space. The main and only window is separated in three different areas: the button bar situated on the top, the browser panel that you can see on the left side where you can spot the physical drives and logical volumes, and the main area where you can read the instructions. In fact, you are able to use the application almost instantly, due to the brief indications that are displayed in the main panel. The Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery interface is able to provide maximum efficiency in a beautifully designed shell. The application is designed to deal with all the rather common mishaps that your storage devices might be exposed to, like accidental or intentional deletion or formatting, media corruption or damage. That is why Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a very useful tool to have around.

Although modern devices are basically proofed for every situation that may occur while an intensive usage, I am sure that at least once, sitting in front of a storing device, you didn't understand why was your data gone or you regretted erasing a file that you actually needed.
