Abstract
An image-sensing apparatus has: an image-sensing portion that acquires an original image by shooting a subject; an alteration processor that applies reversible alteration to an image inside a specific region in the original image to produce from the original image an altered image; and a recording controller that records in a recording portion an image file in which the altered image is stored in association with restoration-oriented information that identifies the contents of the restoration that needs to be performed to restore the original image from the altered image.
