 |
|
Hello All. I'm a detective in Tennessee and need a little help. I work on computer forensic investigations and I am currently working a case where there is evidence that a person has possibly hidden an image using Photoshop, Gimp, or something. The things I need to know is what image format do I need to be looking for? There were no .psd's on the hard drives but what other formats? Can a .bmp, .,jpg, or .png for example be manipulated with layers, masks, or anything else to conceal an image. Also, I am not a big photoshop user but I need to investigate this further. I will be using Gimp. What would be the process of importing an image and showing the layers. I have tried but failed miserably in working with layers, trying to show different layers, etc. HELP PLEASE.
Thanks
Chad |

if an image is saved without layers,your out of luck, look for .psd files not sure what gimps files are. |

Thanks for the response. Gimp is sort of the poor man's open source Photoshop. Well, what I need to know is can an image other than a .psd be saved with layers on a machine. Then if I find this image can I import it and remove the layers? Thanks |
