Question about recovering photo

Recommended Posts

When a photo is cropped and saved, but the thumbnail of that photo still shows the entire image pre-cropped, is it possible to recover the whole image? Or is the thumbnail completely separate, and has nothing to do with the full size image?

And To answer the second question: The thumbnails I'm refering to are indeed those that apear in "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer."



This is not a definitive answer, but it looks like Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is using the same thumbnails that Explorer itself uses. If so, the thumbnail is most probably cached and doesn't represent the information in the file.

So, I doubt the original file can be reconstructed.
