Thank you. This is my first time reading up on SE stuff... Very interesting stuff.

i also found something that inserts data from another photo and replaces the meta data with that one

This should come in handy for some astros I just ordered.

didnt know this after using photoshop for almost 4 years. Thanks!

I don't know if opening it in photoshop is grounds for a fraud case. For all they know, you could have adjusted the brightness or something.

It is reasonable enough doubt to push an investigation for many Loss Prevention divisions of corporate businesses.

Also, clearing your EXIF data is more suspicious than leaving it be.

This is the result of a photoshop image being stripped of EXIF data:



This is the EXIF from my Phone camera, which for some "methods", provide a similar type image.



The absence of all this data would be more suspicious to me than just having a photoshop tag.

What do you suggest?

Assuming, as I do with any company I deal with, they have someone somewhere in their chain who actually knows what the fuck they're doing, either find a method around receipts, or make it as close to authentic as possible in your data, colour, image content, resolution, etc.

Any inconsistency in an image, which are very easy to find, and it becomes plainly obvious it was shopped to anyone who knows anything about loss prevention.

If you've ever used photoshop to edit a receipt.psd to SE a product from somewhere, then you may have unknowingly killed your chances.

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?

Go 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.

Hmm. Didn't know this was a thing. I usually edited out my EXIF data regardless, (on phone pictures) - but had no idea photoshop actually put location data (?) in the picture.

Also to clarify, it's location data, right? I don't really care if anything else is in the photo.

This will be certainly useful for those new to SE.
