I think it's a bad idea to to stuff like this, if nor for moral resons, maybe because of the risk involved, just my personal opinion, but it's always good to be informed on how Photoshop saves it's files. :Smile:

Photoshop is one of those image editors that likes to stick in metadata and EXIF data.

This means that it's possible for a company to check if you have used photoshop to edit the photo by checking its headers or whatever, and getting caught like that isn't so great since it kind of gives them a case against you for fraud.

Want to know how to avoid jail time?


hiding this simple step just to annoy leechers lol

oh and open Photoshop and go to File -> Save for web... once you're done editing that beautiful proof of purchase

Once you've completed those important steps, select JPEG as the picture type since most cameras take photos in JPEGs, then find the Metadata section and change it from "Copyright and Contact info" to "None".

Now as long as you did a half-decent 'shop you probably won't be acquitted on charges of falsifying receipts BiggrinBiggrin

Some companies just allow a screenshot which makes it easier

Thanks for the share! I haven't had this problem so far, but it's still a decent tip.

I would prob still be caught for bad PS skills, I haven't used it in years...

or even better after photoshopping take a pic of your screen with your camera of the photoshopped image. Just make sure theres no glare or anything.
