Well, it still has its EXIF information attached.

Camera: Fujifilm FinePix A610
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows
Date/Time: 2008-01-25 08:37:49
Exposure Time: 1/550 sec
etc.

Does this help to identify its source?

Don't think so. It tells what camera was used, time it was taken and
exposure time. Also it was further processed with photoshop CS3 ( also
no way of telling if it was a pirated copy of photoshop)

Not only might the image have EXIF metadata that identifies the owner but
the image itself might be encoded using digital Steganography to secretly
hide the owner information.

Unfortunately, none of the exiff data will accompany the posted photo
unless the camera has that option and the exiff option was activated.

The exiff data must also be displayed on the page via a script which was
not available on this page shown.

and which magical browser did you use to acquire this invisible data with?
as it is purely an image to me, the page source is unavailable and no such
data was included.

Thanks for the lesson on what exiff is. This is not what the OP was wanting

Bullshit.
Unless the posting server picked up that information from the poster's
original file, which may or may not have had exiff activated at the time of
the photo, it would then require the use of a script {javascript php etc}
to translate that information with. As there was no data on the page other
than the photo, your information is totally useless and fabricated.

The OP wanted to know if the original photo could be found.

A throwaway brownie has the exiff capability? I don't think so.
What if a standard 35mm was used? No exiff, period.

That I highly doubt if you mean as to which websites carry the same precise
photo. To do that you would require some software that could scour the
internet for photos and play the match game. Then you'd have to be online
for 24/7 for about 10 years to find them all.


Several well meaning idiots have filled you with a bunch of a garbage that
should be trashed.
Big big clue as to why: "ADOBE".
Adobe photoshop software is NOT installed the camera.
The camera might not even have exiff capabilities. The exiff might have
been turned off. Even then, that is not reliable proof.

How do you explain the fact that several posters came up with exactly the
same "fabricated" EXIF data?
Jesus, you ARE fuckin irremediably dense, aren't you?
There's tons of photoviewing programs out there that will display EXIF data
(if there is any) and it has nothing at all to do with any "scripts" on the
page .. .

I don't think that you even need the 'right kind' of viewer. In XP at
least, just save the picture, right click on the filename, click on
'Properties', then 'Summary', then (if necessary) 'Advanced'.

Unfortunately, you can't copy the text (except as an image, by doing a
screen capture). But if you right click on the individual parameters,
you get the 'What's This?', and if you click on it, it tells you

You *can* show it's exactly the same as one you know to be the original
- by using SFV files, And that would show the creation date as well,
however any text or comments just need someone with a hex editor to
change. That would of course make different checksums than derived from
the original.

You don't need a viewer. In XP at least, just save the picture (to a
filename), right click on the filename, click on 'Properties', then the
'Summary' tab, then (if necessary) 'Advanced'. You get a list with a
whole load of information about the picture.

And remember too that the Opera browser will show properties and Exif
data (if exists) right in the browser. Right-click on image, Properties,
etc.

On my Ubuntu computer, the standard image viewer will as well. Simple:
open image, go to File -> Properties and read it all.

Interesting. Tried that in IE8. 'Properties' only tells you the address
(name of the link), the filesize and dimensions in pixels.

I usual image viewer is FastStone, and this gives you some of the EXIF
information when you move the cursor to the far RHS of the screen.
However, I find that if you right-click on the opened image itself, it
beings up a menu which allows you to select 'File Properties', and this
brings up exactly same 'Properties' as when you right-click etc on the
filename - which gives you a much fuller list of EXIF parameters. You
live and learn!

Has the OP ("Welsh Wizard29") confirmed that this is the sort of
evidence he was looking for?

Well ok, if you want to get really technical... <g>

He had asked a few really inane questions in one of the PHP newsgroups,

Any image produced by a digital camera with 'Exiff' capability will have the
exiff data included. I am able to read the data with Opera 10.10. Did not
try it in other browsers, so I will test it now.

MS Internet Explorer 8 (64-bit): No.
MS Internet Explorer 8: No.
SeaMonkey 2.0: No.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.6: No.
Safari 4.0.4: No.

So far, one browser is able to read the exiff data. After downloading the
image on the local file system, I tried a couple of applications. All are
running in 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

Windows Explorer: Yes.
Windows Photo Viewer: Yes.
Paint: No.
QuickTime Picture Viewer: No.
IrfanView 4.25: Yes.
Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2: No. (May be an advanced setting,
but help is useless now that Adobe has abandoned the product.)

Ergo, you are clearly not running the appropriate viewers, if you can't read
the data.

It really depends. In Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows Explorer and the
Windows Picture Viewer will show the data. IrfanView 4.25 will even copy the
exiff data as text in a program, such as Notepad.

Poster 'Ian Jackson' has said that it can be done in Windows XP; though he
did not say if he was in the Windows Explorer, or the Windows Picture
Viewer. So, basically four applications will reveal the exiff data:

Opera 10.10
Windows Explorer
Windows Photo Viewer
IrfanView 4.25

IrfanView has the capability of exporting the exiff data as a block of text
to the clipboard; from where it can be pasted in any suitable application.

Poster 'richard', in thrashing about to save face, has uttered one truth:
The exiff data can be manipulated, or even disabled in the camera, if the
camera has that option.

With XP (at least), you don't (seem to) need any viewer to reveal (some

Hey! That's great! IrfanView reveals a list as long as your arm. Just
open the image, select 'Image', then 'Information' to display 'Image
Properties'. Select 'EXIF info', 'Copy to clipboard', and paste into a
text document (Word, Notepad etc).

Exactly. But if the original information isn't there, it isn't there. It
may never have been there, or it may have been removed. If it is there,
may have been edited to read something different. [But I'm no expert on
these matters.] The OP was asked
"Is it possible to trace a pic?"


http://i45.tinypic.com/xciwih.jpg
"Someone said this was theirs, but I think I saw it on a web site
somewhere."

Well, there IS a very clear 'fingerprint' on this picture, but it might
need an expert to advise whether it is genuine, or whether it has been
planted.

Even in the original (as uploaded) there's no EXIF information. The
original picture from which that one was cropped, however, *does* contain
EXIF data.

I guess you missed the part about usint Windows Windows 7 Home Premium? I
can't imagine being able to view the exiff data without seeing the image
file which contains said data. And I can't imagine that Windows XP gives you
access to those files without using Windows Explorer; unless you try using
DOS commands at a command prompt; in which case, there is no right click on
file to reveal the file properties. In this case, Windows 7, Windows Vista,
and Windows XP share a common functionality.

I just happened to enumerate all of the applications that I tested when
looking for the exiff data.

I don't know squat about OS X; but, if it is like Knoppix, or Mint, the OS
does not, natively, display that information without at least access the
file via a file manager application; whether CLI, or GUI (as the Windows
Explorer).

Opera 10.10 presented no exiff data, so I tried saving the file to my
desktop, and opening it in IrfanView 4.25. There is no option to view the
exiff data, so I assume it is missing altogether.

Does anyone with XP (or W7) NOT normally use Windows Explorer? All I'm
saying is that you don't seem to have to use any image program in order
to see a lot of the EXIF information (if it exists). But IrfanView does
seem to reveal all (a lot more than my favourite FastStone Viewer).

Explain what you mean by "not really". Do you mean you can't
manipulate EXIF data or what? And why would you use a hex editor?
What never changes?

Of course you can.

And why would you use a hex editor?

Because it is stored as pure ascii in the file

The offset from the beginning of the file.

I don't have DOS. Only a command prompt (CLI).

Well, really. Different applications take different approaches to displaying
existing data. Some will even allow its manipulation. Using a hex editor is
just another "depends" for access.

I think the ol' "Tossed Auto" is being deliberately contentious. Because he

DOS exists on every computer. It does the communication with the drives.
That's why it's called DOS: Disk Operating System. The word is also is
used to refer to the CLI. MS DOS is no longer on the market however.

Ok, ok. Please tell me how to locate DOS on this computer. It is a Dell
XPS, running Mandriva Linux 2010.

If "DOS exists on every computer", tell me how to access it on this one.

Since DOS stands for "Disk Operating System", in your case it is
Linux Mandriva, wise guy.

See "Challenges to Wintel domination" section of
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_compatible".

Using "DOS" to mean the "bought for $50K from Seattle Computer
Products and fubared by Gates and Co. software" is merely a VERY
dominant convention. There have been MANY other DOS's, and FWIW,
IMO Linux IS a DOS, as is Panther or BeOS. Although I suppose
the argument could go on forever - or at least until *DISKS* are
no longer in use AT ALL - I am pretty sure it is possible to run
your OS off a USB stick already.

In this context chuckup is referring to MS/DOS, the precursor to Windows.
Chuckup is probably referring further to the fact that prior versions of
Windows, the ones prior to the NT family (NT, 2000, XP et al) really did run
MS/DOS as the underlying DOS. Chuckup further thinks that the NT family also
run MS/DOS as the underlying DOS and is, of course, completely wrong.

Chuckup, in my hand here I have a computer. A quite powerfull one, able to
run all sorts of applications, including word processors, web browsers and
email clients.

It runs the Symbian operating system. Google for it if you have never heard
of it before.

There is *NO* disk operating system (or DOS if you prefer) on this computer.
There cannot BE a *disk* operating system, as my telephone does not *have* a
disk.

Talking out of your arse again chuckup.

Symbian supports FAT, NTFS, the internal non-volatile ROM drive, and up
to 26 removable non-volatile read/write drives.

Now go on, fuckwad. I dare you to tell _me_ that Symbian does not have a

the Symbian "Format internal disk" option.

No, I am the one who *isn't* referring to MS DOS.
