CD Photo recovery

Any freeware programs for recovering photos from a corrupt CD.

Not just photos, but all files:

Registerware for personal use

CDCheck is a utility for the prevention, detection and recovery of damaged files
on CD-ROMs

What is the difference between copying a file and recovering it with CDCheck?
Most copy programs read and write files in larger blocks (to improve
performance).
This is also what CDCheck does during Checking, CRC creation and Comparing.
When such copy program encounters unreadable block copying of file is usually
terminated with an error.

Here is the difference.
Firstly CDCheck tries to read the unreadable sector multiple times before
marking it unreadable.
Secondly if sector is marked unreadable it skips it and tries to read on at the
next sector.
Also if multiple reads return different data the statistically most probable
data is calculated.
