If not explained already:

Shooting stills with a DSLR you have the option of creating a RAW file type photo, a JPG file type photo, or both.

Most use RAW type for processing in Adobe PS, Lightroom or Bridge.

Seeing the band of missing text in the phone photo tells you that the photog blurred that area out when he/she processed it on the computer. You wouldn't see that band in the photo as it came from the camera onto the computer.

That means you have to get the RAW version of the photo, which is sitting in an archive folder on the computer that did the processing. You have to get the version before the processing was done, i.e. straight out of the camera.

A RAW file on a computer would have a file type of cr2. Nowadays, I think, the pro cameras take RAW files at around 25mb in size each.

Any other file type would mean it has been processed (i.e. altered for publication), unless the photog's camera was set to shoot JPG only. In that case the pre-processed JPG (direct from the camera) is needed, not the JPG that was processed for publication.

Not sure how you would get the unprocessed RAW or JPG without asking for it directly from the owner, who would have to allow you to download it from a file repository, etc.
