p.1 #1 · sRAW - another possible use

Another possible use for the sRAW.

When a PJ submits a photo to his editor/publisher, submit the JPG and the sRAW so the editor may check for image tampering. The RAW is probably too large a file to routinely do that, but sRAW is probably not. It would be a good way to prevent image fraud.

RAW files aren't tamper-proof. i believe DPP and a few others can re-save a RAW. the only true way to secure an image is by using the canon security kit.

DPP just adds the recipe to the RAW file, next to the as-shot camera settings. As far as I can tell, it doesn't change the photosite array data.

I see Nathan's point. Proof by law is different from the proof an editor needs.
