Recovered most of my pics but some are only thumbnails

Hi! I used PhotoRec to recover my photos from my sd card. I recovered most of them but some of them (the most importants) are only thumbnails which are named t*.jpg What can I do?

It can happen if the original files were fragmented (ie. you often delete a few pictures before taking new ones).
Using PhotoRec 7.0-WIP, in Options, enable the bruteforce mode. It's slow but may help you to recover more jpg.
