I came across an article in the June 2008 Scientific American titled “Digital Forensics: Five Ways To Spot a Fake” by Hany Farid.
The article was particularly relevant this week because of questions in the New York Times about an Iranian missile launch. In fact Mr. Farid wrote a follow-up about the image in SciAm online on July 10th “Is That Iranian Missile Photo a Fake?“.
Today in the Wall Street Journal’s Weekend Journal section, the lead article is about Gregorius Nekschot, the pseudonym of a Dutch cartoonist troublemaker. Upon review of the site I unexpectedly came across this image, inducing upon me excruciatingly painful laughter.
OK, let’s analyze this image for trickery.
