Hide Photos 1.4
PROTECT PRIVATE PHOTOS WITH A PASSWORD
Every digital photographer has pictures not intended for public view. Hide for-your-eyes-only photos in a password-protected secure container!
Why is this better than a password-protected ZIP or RAR archive? Hide Photos is so much more convenient, fast and secure than any packer that there's really no comparison! Hide Photos stores protected
images in an encrypted secure container that is easily accessible with an Explorer-like interface. It displays full-color thumbnail previews of the protected pictures, and conveniently organizes your
collection with tags and comments for quick search.
Exactly how secure is the protection? Hide Photos employs the industry-standard AES encryption with 256-bit keys. There's hardly anything in the world to better protect your digital pictures! If you use
an encrypted ZIP or RAR archive, every time you need to access a picture it will be extracted from the archive and stored temporarily on your hard disk, leaving the image un-encrypted. Hide Photos never
extracts anything onto the hard disk, and leaves absolutely no traces both while you're working with the image and after you've finished.
There's a downside to security. If you forget your password, no one, but no one will be able to help you recover your protected pictures. Hide Photos is well aware of the issue, and allows you to specify
a password hint to give you and only you an idea about the password. Just make sure not to use a hint that's too trivial to protect your passwords from easy guessing!
Hide Photos is convenient and secure, but what about its ease of use? It shines in this department, too! You can add or extract pictures by dragging and dropping single images or entire folders from
Windows Explorer, or select pictures to protect from within the Explorer-like interface.
Protect your digital pictures against the curious eye and make them impossible to access without your authorization with Hide Photos!
Bolide Software announces the release of Hide Photos v1., a secure container for digital pictures. A perfect combination of security, convenience and ease of use make Hide Photos a perfect choice for digital photographers.
Digital photography changed the way people take, develop and print photos radically. No more need to bring films to a photo lab to make perfectly looking prints. Digital made it possible to perform the entire process of developing, editing and printing photographs at ones home, eliminating the possible embarrassment of a lab employee looking at photos intended strictly for private view.
Storing the digital photographs is just another matter. Naughty home stuff or pictures of your ex are equally not intended to be viewed by an inappropriate eye, yet for completely different reasons. What are your choices here?
Of course, you could just store the digital pictures hidden deep on your computer in a hope that no one stumbles upon them. That means no protection at all. Or you can put the pictures into an encrypted ZIP or RAR archive, making them impossible to access without a password. That could work to protect your photos. The problem is that the protection works in both ways, making it inconvenient for you to access the images. Besides, due to the nature of how archivers like ZIP and RAR work, your photos will be extracted and stored unprotected somewhere on the hard disk every time you access them. To sum it up, archives are neither convenient nor secure as a means to protect digital photo albums.
The solution? A dedicated photo protection tool just like Hide Photos! The product combines the convenience of unrestricted access with the security of encrypted archives. Hide Photos keeps the digital images securely encrypted (AES-256 if you're worried about the degree of security) yet handily available. You can view, add or delete digital pictures in the protected album at any time by just entering a password once. The images are never saved to the hard disk, thus eliminating the security hole of the password-protected archives.
What if you forget your password? If that would be a ZIP or RAR archive, you'd just lose your pictures or spend an awful lot of time trying to recover the original password with recovery tools. Lost passwords are no problem with Hide Photos! You can specify a password hint to remind you and you only about the right password. Just make sure the hint isn't too obvious for anyone but you!
Hide Photos includes a full-featured image browser, viewer and organizer, making access to the protected pictures as easy and convenient as possible. Tag pictures with keywords, organize them by folders, specify passwords for the entire album or separate images, browse and view pictures from within the program without saving anything onto the hard drive.
