derrabe Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Several years ago I got an email when some sent me a picture of the Mona Lisa. With a set of instruction to download it and open the file in Microsoft word. Once inside MS word you can adjust the color level on this picture. In the email it said what to set those color levels to, and if you did it to those level the picture of the Mona Lisa changed to another picture completely different from the original. Does anyone know where i can find an example of this or at least what it is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubrica Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 It is called Steganography, and see this thread for more details: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Can't you just ask the person who sent it? If not, then it's probably either a virus, marketing, or a scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrabe Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 I would ask the person who sent it to me but it was a forwarded email and I got it like back in the late 90's on an email account i don't have anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
