How can I recover a picture (taken last year) that I erased from my SD card and PC (recently crashed, nothing can be done)? I tried Recuva and it didn't work.

I hear there's a possibility of recovering you lost data but it's not guaranteed. Try using the softwares given above I would rather recommend you to learn having alternative backups like www.safecopybackup.com. Try out there 3GB free trial. It's good, I personally have experienced their services.

If the picture was deleted recently then yoou might still recover using file recovery apps. See, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/retrieve-deleted-pictures-from-your-camera-with-pc-inspector-smart-recovery-windows/On the other hand if the picture was deleted a while ago I am afraid your chances of recovering it are very small.

How long ago was it deleted? If the picture was taken and deleted a year ago then there's probably nothing you can do.
