A friend suggested to me that I look into filesystem recovery tools for my recently lost photos.
It turns out there are tons of them, especially for lost photos on memory cards. Of the many available for the Mac, I chose PhotoRescue (which appears to be made by the same people who make the legendary IDA pro).
For $29, the program worked very well, and was able to recover all but one of my images, as well as giving me the option to pull images that I had taken several months ago and who’s sectors hadn’t been overwritten yet.
