Yeah this is awful, wish i had a solution. Can you reshoot for free on your own time, or are there outside costs?
*starts backing shit up out of paranoia.

Not sure if this is true... a friend of mine said if you keeping copy the files (e.g images/photos) the quality of the files will get worse... is this true?
I think he is talking baws!

You know...that thing on paper.

sorry but burning a backup dvd or some other media is the first thing you should do on a photo shoot. from the camera card to hard drive to backup.
Most workflow software will do this automatically if set to.

and... sorry to hear about that meok, hope you will find the pictures dude.

note to self: always copy, rather than move files

This happened to me once and I never recovered the files. I searched all over too.
Hopefully my problem isn't the same as yours and you can find the pictures.

that has been happening to me a lot! and it fucking sucks!
were they on a server, or more importantly, were they on a server that gets backed up on a timed basis?
i'm assuming that both the answers are no, but who knows. that sucks :\
i'm assuming they are not still on the camera or anything?

So I was sorting a bunch of pictures from a shoot, picked all the winners and drag them into the "chosen" folder. At that moment an error message comes up and says it its unable to move the files due to some error. Hhmm, ok. So I go back to the original forder, interesting, the files are not there. hmmm.. ok, maybe there in that chosen folder after all... nope.
fuck.
Did a search of the whole system, theyre nowhere to be seen.Anybody knows what to do in this situation? Theres no way we can afford to reshoot.
