How to Hide a Certain Photo From Someone on Facebook
Uploading your digital photos to the Facebook website allows you to share your pictures with friends and other contacts. Sometimes, you might want to prevent a contact or friend from viewing a specific photo; for example, you might want to stop your boss from accessing a photo of you relaxing by the pool on vacation. Hide a specific photo from another person on Facebook by editing the photo's share controls.
