Chapter 10 begins with an overview of computer graphics and data compression and then explains how to locate and recover graphics files based on information stored in file headers.  You learn to identify and reconstruct graphics file fragments, analyze graphics file headers and repair damaged file headers.  This chapter also explores tools for viewing graphics files you recover and discusses two computer graphics issues: steganography and copyrights.  Steganography involves hiding data, including images, in files.  Copyrights determine the ownership of media, such as images downloaded from a Web site.
