• updating the image property of the identified area of the payment instrument image to the second value for the image property, wherein the image property of other areas of the payment instrument image remains at the first value of the image property, and
• storing the updated payment instrument image in response to updating the image property.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions operable when executed to cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a payment instrument image including a payee, a payor, an amount, and an authorization, wherein the payment instrument image associated with a tangible payment instrument to be submitted for electronic transaction clearing, and wherein the payment instrument image is associated with a first value of an image property;
• identifying an area of the payment instrument image for which the image property is to be updated and a second value for the image property different than the first value, wherein the area of the payment instrument image includes less than the entire payment instrument image;
• updating the image property of the identified area of the payment instrument image to the second value for the image property, wherein the image property of other areas of the payment instrument image remains at the first value of the image property, and
• storing the updated payment instrument image in response to updating the image property.

A system comprising:

• memory for storing data;
• and
• one or more processors operable to perform operations comprising:
• identifying a payment instrument image including a payee, a payor, an amount, and an authorization, wherein the payment instrument image associated with a tangible payment instrument to be submitted for electronic transaction clearing, and wherein the payment instrument image is associated with a first value of an image property;
