Know If A Photo or Video is Original Or Edited!

Can you identify if your image is original or edited? Perhaps the answer is NO. There are professionals who can edit pictures with tools like photoshop and make them look real. You certainly can’t recognize the originality of those images. Few times I get confused to know if the image I’m viewing is taken from a camera or a doctored image. Likewise there are video editors who edit and make the video look original. But finally there is a tool to tell us if the image or video is original or has been edited with any photo/video editing tools. It’s called JPEGsnoop.
JPEGsnoop is a powerful and witty tool that determines the actual origin of a photo or video. Do you know that every image or video contains some secret codes, called signature in it. JPEGsnoop is capable of reading those signatures. If the image or video has been captured with a camera, it will have some camera assigned signatures inside it. And now if the image or video has been doctored, it will have the signatures of those editing tools inside it.
JPEGsnoop analyze the signature code and try to match it with different photo/video editing tools. If the signature matches with any video or image editing tool’s compression signature, it will show that the image or video file has bee edited. If the source file contains the signature code found in the cameras only, it will label that file as original one. It’s a freeware, so download JPEGsnoop and be a image/video spy.
