Something funny I found buried in a PS dll....

Well I am digging through Photoshop with reshack to see if I can somehow remove the gray background to show just the desktop. (Note: I am new to reshack, so don't expect anything to come of it, lol).

In any event, i was looking through Photoshop.dll and under Bitmaps: 5037 I find this:

it was among just a few small BMP's like arrows and stuff. Maybe someone has seen it before, easter egg or something.

i don't have a bmp 5037 under ps7...

#221511

I also noticed your user name was the same as a member from the band NOFX

#221512

#221550

#221551

Haha, that's great- I've never seen that Easter Egg before.

HAHA, kool, I've got it too. I never saw an easter egg before.

there's a bunch of easter eggs in photoshop and imageready. if you are in a transparent document in imageready and type "rubberducky" really quick the transparent bg turns to ducks, if i remember correctly. you can also hold down ctrl or alt when you click about and get an alternate about window, and just for information "taconite" is the codename for imageready (as you will see if you look at the alt-about window)

Thats funny, I never knew that those adobe types were such pranksters!

remember in windows 3.11 where you could go to "about" in the help menu, and hold dont CTRL and SHIFT and then double click on the windows icon, then if you did it again you got to see the programmers of windows 3.11 credits! ooHHH! it was sooo cool back then :) hehe

lol, thats well funny... I will have dig though Illustrator and GoLive! ;)

[edit] OMG! I have just found a really funny thing in ImageReady!!! (well 2 things actually)

Note: these only apply to ImageReady 7 and above

1) Go to Help > About ImageReady, hold down Ctrl over the Image (ie. either the IR 7 Globe or the IR CS Feathers) and the Clone Stamp should appear. If you click wih Ctrl still held a little Duckie Appears! You can place 10 duckies before the first ones start to disapear. Also, if you want to take some off you can hold Ctrl + Alt and click on a duckie and it will disapear! See it here!

2) Hold Ctrl + Alt (with nothing open) then open the Help Menu (you will have to keep ur mouse pressed down) and slide down to About ImageReady and you will be presented with not the normal About screen, but this!

See attached file...

In Illustrator, press ctrl or alt (i don't know on windows) and click on the triangle button at the bottom of a file's window.

There you will see some cool fetures like eyes that follow you around.

The funny about Photoshop.dll!Bitmaps/5037 is that actually this is no 'Easter Egg'. Well indeep it's some kind of 'egg' containing hidden data. Actually it is Adobe's CDS(Counterfeit Deterrence System) module or in other words 'Bank notes detection' dll.

(Note: Deleting this picture will disable 'Bank notes detection' :)

Well what looks like a funny comicstrip contains in real well hidden data. Zoom in very close to a area that should be filled with the same color - you should see some 'noise' in pixel. Well that's because last two bit of each colorchannel(R,G,B) contains hidden data that is the actual data - the rest is only to make it look nice.

In the current PS 9.02 they chanced the picture to a more 'boring' CS2_photoshop.dll_bitmap_5037.bmp

And also since it's a photo the 'noise' in the color is more likly than in comic picture with plain colors.

Also the picture has some funny resolution 500 x 333 with 24 bitColor (=3Byte) well that makes about 500KB. 150KB of the picturedata are used for CDSApplication.dll which get's 260kb when it's decrypted and decompressed.

We have 24 bitColor for each pixel with makes 8bit for each colorschannel. Now if we take 2 bit from the blue 2 from the Green and 4 from Red - 2+2+4 -> 8bit => 1Byte. 500 x 333 x 1 byte = 150 KB.

That's the first time I saw such kind of steganography in use.

If you like to explore this yourself - in ollydebug set a beakpoint in Photoshop.exe a breakpoint to KERNEL32.CreateFileA(".NTICE") or search for constant 5037...
