How Photoshopped Is That Picture?

Posted by timothy on Thursday December 1, 2011 @05:54AM from the pretty-darn dept.

Freddybear writes "Digital forensics experts at Dartmouth have developed software that can analyze digital photos to rate how drastically they have been altered by digital editing techniques. 'The Dartmouth research, said Seth Matlins, a former talent agent and marketing executive, could be "hugely important" as a tool for objectively measuring the degree to which photos have been altered.'"

It also uses advanced neural-network powered learning algorithms to allow it to also leverage "having seen a a great many shops".

  This looks GIMPED. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few GIMPS in my time.

... because THAT story title quite obviously is not in compliance with Adobe's Permissions and trademark guidelines!
Next time, better talk about images being "GIMPed". Just to be safe and all that ;)

Yeah, it shouldn't be that hard to uncrop a picture.
I got disappointed in the fairer sex... by bogaboga · 2011-12-01 06:20 · Score: 4, Funny

I must admit I grew up in an environment where I was not that exposed to media, be it TV or magazines.
But once a magazine came my way, my thoughts wondered as to what the beauties in the magazines ate! They looked so beautiful...with no "flaws", (for lack of a better word).
In adulthood, I left my community for the big city, hoping to get a good job and to also see the "beauties" on the streets. I must say I was, and still continue to be disappointed. In the decades I have been in the big city, I have not met a single beauty once! Never!
The ones I see on TV and in the magazines are all "fake!" Needless to say, I returned to my old small town, found a real woman and have never regretted it. I have also asked her to show me one beauty if she comes across one if we're together. It's never happened.
Sadly, the practice of photoshopping is damaging our daughters' and sons' self esteem, with eating disorders that have only gotten worse. Sad, sad indeed.

I bet the people on CSI can uncrop a picture. ;)
