I have been asked by a friend who is quite new to photoshop, but has been a photographer for many years, the following question (because someone told him that this is true, but I am very doubtful about that).

Can you, with Photoshop CS3 – once an image is down-sized for a customer’s copy on CD, and a copyright label is put on the bottom corner of the image by way of a new layer then flattened and saved as a .jpg – somehow re-activate that layer end easily remove the copyright label? I know it could be cloned out , but is it possible to reactivate the layer?

Has anyone ever heard anything even remotely like this?

Thanks for any answers.

No, you can’t "reactivate" a layered file once it’s flattened.

Jpegs do not store layer information so if there is a watermark etc on a Jpeg it is there forever unless you clone it out.
