Can you photoshop a cheque to be void, and then in the future, use that same cheque for something legitimate?

Other

So for example I'm using cheque number 120 in my cheque book. Can I scan it, in photoshop put huge VOID and markings all over it--keep the cheque to use for something else in the future?

This is like asking if you can scan a dollar bill, edit it on photoshop, and still use the dollar bill

Nothing that you do in Photoshop to an image of one of your checks will change the validity of the actual check.

log into your online banking.

your bank might offer you the ability to download a PDF that is basically a void cheque that you can email to whoever you need to email it to.

Scanning a check doesn't make the original void. That would make no sense.

checks are cheap... just void it and save yourself the hassle

Yes, whoever you are sending it to is just looking for documentation of your routing & account numbers. They don't care what the check number is, hell blank it out with photoshop.
