When I got home and tried to copy them to my Mac there were about 10 that wouldn't copy (or even be read). I'm told this happens sometimes when you slam fill up a CF card (i.e. the camera says "CF Card Full"). The card seems okay and the partition seems intact but there's just a few pics that are completely or almost completely gray. My Windows PC reads them okay so I have a back-up but still no idea how to fix the JPG files themselves... Does that software exist? I recently shot a bunch of pics and filled up the CF card.

You must separate the memory chip and dump the raw data to recover your data, look here: <a href="http://card-recovery.biz/us/service.php" rel="nofollow">CF xD SD MMC memory card/stick photo recovery</a> If you have problems with your memory card in 80% of all cases the controller of your card is damaged and no software or card reader can help.

I haven't tried PhotoRec, but <a href="http://www.lc-tech.com/software/rprodeluxedetail.html" rel="nofollow">RescuePro DeLuxe</a> came free with one of my Sandisk Extreme MCMLXXXIX (or was it IV?) cards and has saved me two times. It's costs money, but might be worth a try if there are no free solutions that work. Good to see it worked out!

No software out there seems to offer a solution. I’m worried that’s the case with my images, too, but I have thousands of them that were corrupted on the card that I desperately need back.
