I have heard of PhotoRescue nearly a decade or so ago, but never used it
myself to know how well it works. But my understanding that it can recover
the deleted photo, and read/copy photo can't be copy/read using Windows
Explorer or regular File Manager etc..

But I wonder if it can recover the damaged (*not* deleted) photo? What I
have in mind that "Can't Read" is some type of directory problem, when
"Damged" is *part* of DATA been destroyed or changed.

Or the Data Rescue can rescue the complete DATA *but* a small part of data
seems pretty tough (I am just guessing).
