[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 222404, member: 12561"] It would be in hex, but [url=http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/17562]HexEdit[/url] is what I use to view data and resource forks. It'll take a lot of digging, but you could probably find a piece of a PDF or PNG in a JPEG and [b]that's[/b] most likely the thumbnail due to the fact that OSX uses PDF and PNG as the system image type. ...and I'd love to write out a description of resource forks for you, but [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_fork]Wikipedias already done it for me...[/url]. :) [/QUOTE]
