NIST Colloquium Series discusses how doctored images are used and revealed in media, politics, science and law…or as Plato asked, how do you believe what you see?

Perhaps my favorite line in the presentation is when Dr. Hany Farid says what worried people about doctored Iranian missile photos was not the number fired, but that the Iranians figured out how to use Photoshop.

In related news the Chinese were just accused (again) of showing Top Gun movie images as real and current military news.
