I usually check out Scientific American for my science blog WendSight, but this story warrants a view by PR professionals. I pulled the main points from "Digital Forensics: How Experts Uncover Doctored Images" written by Hany Farid.It says, "Fraudulent photographs produced with powerful, commercial software appear constantly, spurring a new field of digital image forensics. Many fakes can be exposed because of inconsistent lighting, including the specks of light reflected from people’s eyeballs. Algorithms can spot when an image has a “cloned” area or does not have the mathematical properties of a raw digital photograph."
Visit SciAm for an interesting read and photos! Visit this link to see the photo credit.
