• generate a second image by editing a first image stored in the first area,
• store the second image as a file hidden in the first area that prevents the file from being recognized or displayed by a multimedia file management application by applying an attribute to hide the second image,
• generate and store in the memory a temporary file comprising metadata and at least some frames of the first image or second image, the temporary file being configured to enable restoration of the first image or the second image,
• change a logical address of the first image to locate the first image in the second area,
• restore and expose the hidden second image by (i) determining, based on the temporary file, that the first image is located in the second area, and (ii) removing the attribute, wherein expose includes making the second image visible in the first area and accessible to the multimedia file management application, and
