Hide Photos 1.3 Build 805

Digital photos dont require a safe box to hide them away from the curious eye. All you need is an ordinary PC and a very special software tool. You require a tool that hides your private pictures from anyone but you and makes them impossible to access without knowing the right password.
Hide Photos keeps the digital pictures you want to protect in a securely locked container. Exactly how secure is the protection? Hide Photos employs the newest industry-standard AES encryption with 256-bit keys. Theres hardly anything in the world to better protect your digital photos!
There are other aspects of digital photo security than just the length of the encryption key. If you use an encrypted ZIP or RAR archive, no matter how securely the pictures are inside the archive, they are still exposed every time you access a picture.
Once you extract a digital image from the archive, it is stored temporarily on your hard disk, leaving the image file unencrypted and unprotected. It is totally possible that the picture remains in the temporary folder after you are done with it, making it an unpleasant surprise when somebody stumbles upon your private photo when browsing the temp files.
Hide Photos never extracts anything onto the hard disk, and leaves absolutely no traces while youre busy with the image and after you finish.
Theres 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 the idea about the password. You will simply need to make sure you dont use a hint too common to protect your passwords from easy guessing!
