Without knowing the software that you used, it would be difficult to say. But it is possible that the edited photos are now residing in a sub-directory of your software editing package - with names changed to xxxx001, xxxx002 etc.

Worth a look.

Use Windows Explorer. Look under My Computer/Local Disk [C:]/Program Files. You may find a folder called Camedia or similar. Look in there. You may be lucky.

Best I can do. I'm afraid. Failing this, find a friend familiar with PCs

If the above lot bears no fruit, using Windows Explorer, go to the root directory of your hard disk (normally C:\ ). Then "Search", select "All files and folders". In the box "All or part of the filename, put in *.jpg then [search]. This search may take some time, but it should come back with every jpg file on that hard disk. All going well, your photos of Ireland will be there. Take note of the path where it says they are. Then you should be able to find them manually, and move them if you want to.

All the best,

Hello,

Hopefully you will have found your photos by now, thanks to all the good advice you've been given, but just in case............

If you go to start, programmes and then click on Olympus Camedia Master to open the programme. In the top left of the new window you should see a folder called Olympus with a little plus sign next to it. If you click on the plus sign you should then be able to see all the folders in that directory and hopefully your Irish Photos will be there. Basically keep clicking on the plus sign within the Olympus Folder and you should find them.
I now use a USB card reader to upload my photographs which is a lot easier than Camedia.

Regards,

If you go to Google there is an excellent FREE download called Picassa. This small application seaches all your hard drives for images and makes sorting and selecting them a doddle.

If the images are there it WILL find them.

Best of luck.

I agree with Andy. Picassa is excellent.
