In the near future, it could be a lot easier to see if those pictures of the person you've been talking to on Match.com have been retouched. Adobe Systems' Advanced Technology lab is working on plug-ins for Photoshop that would detect whether a photo has been tampered with, according to an Adobe representative. So far, the company has two plug-ins that are in a fairly advanced stage of development. Adobe is working with Dartmouth professor Hany Farid, an expert in photo fraud detection.

Yaaay!!!! Finally it sounds like there will be something reliable!

ImageJ is pretty good, but it's not fun to learn. (Click and scroll down for a small tutorial and link)

Then there a bunch of these... which have been shown to be way too inaccurate to even bother with.

Thanks for the links, PleaseExplain! That made my night! Imagine, no more faked paranormal/ufo pics. Just download the Photoshop plugin, point, and laugh... at least at the fakers. Even if it takes a year longer than they expect, they're working on it! Awesome!!!
