Adobe Tackles Photo Forgeries

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the vanished-commisars dept.

Several readers wrote in with a Wired story about the work Adobe is doing to detect photo forgery. They are working with Canon and Reuters (which suffered massive bad publicity last year over a doctored war photo) and a professor from Dartmouth. (Here is Reuters's policy on photo editing.) Adobe plans to produce a suite of photo-authentication tools based on the work of Hany Farid (PDF) for release in 2008.

    how are you going to detect forgeries when there is an editorial decision to use a forgery to present biased news (see al-ruters) ? shouldnt this be something the general public should hae to put a check on the mainstream media.

    Bad "publicity" is the least of what "Al-Reuters" suffers from.
