Due to a camera malfunction, some photos from the memory card were deleted. My friend and me were able to recover them with help of recovery software but some photos are grayed out(50%). The memory card was left intact and no new data was written in our knowledge. It is in the FAT file format and a 4 GB card.

Is there any way to recover the photos in their original state?

She used Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery.
I went through your link and saw easeUS and Recuva. Will try them out and report back. Thanks. :)
