[QUOTE="Brianwill, post: 485, member: 15"] There are a lot of fake pictures circulating from scammers. To identify a fake, it is enough to know a couple of tricks. Just life hacks. [B]Fake photos - how to detect a fake[/B] Fake photos are one of the most common types of fakes on the web. How to recognize counterfeits? The easiest way to check a suspicious photo is through a reverse search. This option is offered by many online resources ([URL='https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/who-stole-my-pictures/']Who stole my pictures[/URL], [URL='https://www.tineye.com/']Tineye[/URL] ) and search engines. In [URL='https://www.google.com/imghp']Google.Images[/URL] or [URL='https://yandex.com/images/']Yandex.Images,[/URL] you can insert a link to an image, drag and drop or upload an image from your computer. In some browsers this is even easier: for example, in Chrome, just right-click on the picture and select "find this image". It is not difficult to identify the original among other pictures: it is usually of better quality and larger than the copies. From the original photo, you can understand when and where it was first published. This is important because often old photographs are passed off as relevant or shown in a completely different context. [B]Fake photos give out details[/B] To detect a fake, it is often enough to look closely at the details: shadows, reflections, proportions and sharpness of different elements. Are they all right? The country and city where the picture was taken can be identified by car numbers, store signs, and street names in the frame. If there are unusual buildings in the photo, check their location using maps with panoramic street views. Re-checking the weather forecast at a specific location helps to understand when the event depicted in the picture occurred. If it was raining on this cold autumn day, and the photo shows the sun and people in light clothes, you should not trust the photo. [B]Was Photoshop used[/B] If you can't find the source, but there are no remarkable details in the photo, you can send the photo through [URL='http://www.findexif.com/']Findexif[/URL] or [URL='http://fotoforensics.com/']FotoForensics[/URL]. These programs do not need to be installed on a computer, just copy the link to the image into the search bar. After uploading the photo, the edited elements will appear - these services determine the number of layers in the image. Findexif and [URL='http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi']Jeffrey's Image Metadata Viewer[/URL] display metadata (EXIF data): where, when and on which camera model the photo was taken. [/QUOTE]
