After recovery, the cr2 files have '... cr2.jpg ' extension and does not open in PS sc5 / bridge.

After surviving several hundred GB of jpg and cr2 to a disc formatted, I can open jpg PS as usual. Recovering cr2/CR2 files have an extension that ends with cr2.jpg.

Niether bridge or Ps can open them. I guess that's because cr2 have integrated in them when they are created and the recovery software their pulled up as a jpg file. Is there a way to isolate the raw and jpg files in this situation, or maybe there's a download that can take care of him?

PS can not run window indicates; Incorrect flag or extension jpg too long.

Thank you!

Well, after having successfully survived about 120 000 images of a formatted drive accidentally I'll pass on a little of what I learned. I'll try to keep it brief and perhaps will post a more complete NET when I have the chance.

First thing I did was arrested and disconnect a drive so that I was not tempted to tinker with it. Also, I thought I'd need to rush to a data recovery service quickly.

Secondly, after consulting a friend network business, he suggested that he had actually downloaded a program of recovery on the net and it was reliable for its purposes. I had a cool 2 TB drive ready to receive the recovered files. I went online and downloaded EaseUs recovery. I ran it to feel fairly confident he was not destructive. I was relieved to see that it has found a huge Bank of image files. I got them it is clear that some of the images have been jpg and some had a cr2.jpg extension. When the recovery process was I did then went to see the images. I could see very good jpg images, but images with the cr2.jpg extension were not visible. That's when I found here on the Adobe forums. I tried various methods to rename the files, (ie: delete the part cr2 or jpg, etc.) so that the extension should have (in my mind), makes sense for the Ps or even windows Explorer also. No luck.

I tried another download of recovery. These are all a little suspicious, btw, when you look at their Web site there are usually some spelling or grammatical errors, which, for me, is a little disturbing. Wondershare was the next program that seems to work very well and had to jpg and cr2 in separate folders treated. Horay! I ran the program. It took 16 hours to run, (fortunately I started it just before dinner so this should be done the next day when evryone went to school etc.). He got up to 99% complete and crashed! After reduction of the research to a whole limited file and try again, same thing. I sent an email to their support. It took a few days but they responded to what seems to indicate I have try their "most powerful" version free of charge.

Meanwhile, I had downloaded a program of third 'FireCuva '. It sounded pretty hoaky, but I thought that was just a poor marketing plan and to date, these programs have been getting me close enough.

I ran FireCuva. He finds and separated my cr2, jpg, mp3, mp4, Quicktime, etc beautifully! Unfortunately, my records have disappeared. However this was not unexpected, and a small price to be so sloppy in the first place.

Now, I had about 120 000 images in folders in number. "Date created", were there, but without a job, the recovery program.

The next task was to try to organize the images.

After a bit of debate, I open Lightroom for the first time in years. (I had abandoned awile ago, because I couldn't get a handle on "catalogs" and other 'virtual' Lightroom aspects, (I wanted the knowledge hard and fast, hence all my stuff was).)

I imported each folder of the pile recovered and exported to files by date on the same drive. I now have a great appreciation for the ability to create collections and catalogs in Lightroom with out having to copy and move images.

An inspection further, I found that all my ps adjustment layers in my Tiffs, etc. are still there!

In short;

FireCuva recovery software does the job. It cost $59 (even though it says $49 on the download button).

Lightroom handles the rest. I only wish I could, "Lightroom", the rest of my life!

Thanks to those who read and published in the effort to help!
