When you launch Power Photo Recovery
for the first time, the default configuration is set to save the
recovered data in the user's /My Documents/My
Pictures/Recovered folder.
This configuration can be
changed by clicking the Options icon in the tool bar.

The Options screen will
allow you to change the default location for your saved files.
It will also allow you to
change the parameters for displaying the drives on the system, as well as
saving the files by category in the destination folder. Changing
these options from the default is not recommended without contacting
technical support first.

Sometimes, formatting a card may be
necessary to clear an error, or possibly assist with the recovery process.
The Format button opens the standard format dialog. Choose Quick Format,
and click OK to format the card. Then it can be scanned again with
Power Photo Recovery
It is also a good idea to use the
format command on a brand new card before using in the camera for the
first time. Then, once you insert the card in the camera for the first
time, use the camera format or initialize feature to prepare the card for
use in that particular camera.
Please be
sure that you are familiar with the format command, and any applications
you have installed on your system that may affect the format command. Some
third party products can alter the format command for digital media and
the format can become a destructive format!

The Wipe function will completely erase a digital media card. This is
sometimes necessary to clear errors from a card after recovery.
Wiping a card will also assure that
nothing remains on the card at all if you intend to use the card in
another application or digital media device.
Please note that
the wipe function is non-recoverable, even with
Power Photo Recovery!! Only wipe the card if you are certain that you do not
need the data anymore!

Backup will allow you to make a backup image of the card. This can be used
to scan instead of the card in the case where the card is giving
intermittent errors. Or it can be used to store the image of the card so
that the card can be reused and the data still preserved. This image of
the card can be later scanned to recover the pictures if desired.

Open File allows a stored image of a card
to be opened for scanning as if it were an actual card. This is useful in
the case where a card image has been stored, and the pictures must be
recovered from the image. All of the same options are available as when
scanning a media card. When the scanning is finished, click the Close File
icon to close the file.
