iPhoto Library says corrupted and not recognizable format with most of the photos. What to do and how to recover the photos stored in it?

I am using iPhoto 5.0.4 and it is working fine. Two weeks ago I have added some of mine vacation pics and among them I have deleted some of the pics that I don’t like. A week later when I tried to watch them again I found the gray boxes instead of pics. iPhoto also freezes every time I try to open them and when I tried to open the pics it says corrupted and not recognizable format also in description its shows 0kb but when I open iPhoto and manage to click on the pic/grey box and it shows the regular file size.
Can anybody please help me to retrieve those photos stored in it? Any help will be appreciated thank you.

soniasaxena 		As you are putting that iPhoto Library is saying ‘corrupted and not recognizable format’, it clearly indicates that your iPhoto is not able to read the data’s (photos). And this happens when the file system of your Mac is not working properly. But there is nothing to worry about as you can still able to retrieve the photos, provided the photos are not overwritten. You have two option using which you can recover the photos either by repairing the file system or by using any Photo Recovery for Mac software. First option is bit lengthy but it will solve other issues of your Mac as well and with the second one the recovery would be fast. So, now the choice is yours.
All the Best!
