cuellarif Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 For security purposes I am editing pgn screen shots with personal identifying numbers. Once I erase the info and save could that info some how be retrieved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 The old main image data is not preserved, so you're safe there. However, the old thumbnail may still be embedded in the image. The easiest way to prevent that is to follow this procedure after your edits are complete: Flatten, Select All, Copy, Paste into a new image, save that new image. This will create a new file with a new thumbnail. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Make sure you're completely obscuring or removing the numbers, and not just blurring or pixelating them, otherwise it's possible to figure out what used to be there.
