Maybe we should try changing the file extensions on the images?

I've tried looking at the only one that came up with a hit (joinus_img.jpg), and StegBreak won't break it, and OutGuess can't decode it, which makes me think this is a red herring.

4youreyesonly appears alone on the page, though. makes me think it has to be the clue. and a relatively low sensitivity (1.4) and jphide-only stegdetect analysis marks it as stegged.
dunno...

I just have. A generic email asking for more information about them and the current deal

I believe that was there just to let us know that Elexis Sinclare is back, and that this really is a Sin2 ARG

You know how an image has layers? they also have channels (they arnt used much for web images but they still have them), in photoshop on the channels pallet theres a arrow on the right side that you can click to split the channels. Sometimes you can change the brightness/contrast to get a hidden msg in the picture. Its a long shot but it sometimes works (i saw in while lurking in the Anyone Seen James forum)

I don't think there are any hidden messages in the images. I've checked them all, and there's nothing (that I can see) in them. I think, going by the previous puzzles we've had they're most likely to be text-based.
