how can i decompile a EXE file that has been made in photoshop?

i have a EXE file which has some family photos in it.
i want these photos but do not know how to decompile the EXE file can anyone help me??
 
You're right, I haven't tried that particular program. The resource editors I use are part of larger, more expensive packages, but in general they all work the same. You open your EXE file, and look for image resources. Check the documentation that came with it - there might be a few walkthroughs to get you started.
 
Get this straight - Photographers are protected like nothing else - they own the copyright to any pictures they take - they OWN the negatives unless they sign some document which specifically states they are relinquishing that right. Be VERY careful!

How about this - If I steal a camera from someone while walking down the street and take a picture with it I own the copyright to it. I find this outrageous but it is the case. Even though neither the camera or the film belong to me - and I stole the camera - the picture copyright is still mine. Just thought i'd share that with you to highlight this strange legal status.

Hi mcedmond, were you ever able to figure it out? I would love it if anyone could help me out as well...thanks...
 
>no im affraid not.

>i ended up buying the disc

good for you. you did the right thing.

I got married in 1990, before the "digital" revolution and got my proofs as actual pics. We went to the photog's place and looked at a couple hundred pictures, then we selected the standard set, i dunno, like 30 or 40 for the "albums". But we loved the proofs so much, that i negotiated a seperate fee for a copy of each of the proofs too. the guy was very reasonable. i didn't get the rights, of course, that would've been much more $$$, but for an extra couple hundred bux i got a couple hundred "proofs" along with my album. Enough to fill several large photo albums with "out takes". i felt that was a pretty good deal all around.
 
It is still stealing. That is WHY it is set up the way it is. Kilot made a very good point. Anyone who does business for a living or uses photograpohers for custom shoots should be well aware of this.
