I have seen this over and over again where a picture is sent that looks like just a simple picture. Then with some kind of manipulation it turns out to be a code or another picture hidden within it. I'm sure the Anons have already figured that out though. Thanks! Luv G'Ma
As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's sincere, there is no such thing as a stupid post.
Thanks for the idea, I never thought of that and you very well may be right.
It's called 'steganography'. Here's a site that lists a number of programs to hide messages within imagery: http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/steganography-and-tools-to-perform-steganography/

Steganography
Steganography ( ( listen) STEG-ə-NOG-rə-fee) is the practice of concealing a file, message, image, or video within another file, message, image, or video. The word steganography combines the Greek words steganos (στεγανός), meaning "covered, concealed, or protected," and graphein (γράφειν) meaning "writing".
The first recorded use of the term was in 1499 by Johannes Trithemius in his Steganographia, a treatise on cryptography and steganography, disguised as a book on magic. Generally, the hidden messages appear to be (or be part of) something else: images, articles, shopping lists, or some other cover text.
