## What is Foto Detective?

This app helps you to determine fake, "photoshopped", retouched, edited images. The app uses error level analysis (ELA), that is to find parts of a picture that were edited. After processing a photo the program produces the image with edited parts standing out. Also the app will identify EXIF-data (when and with what device a photo was made, image characteristics, sometimes a place, where a photo was made, could also be identified).

Main features:

- ELA analyse for JPEG images
- Show ELA map
- Mark potentially edited regions
- Show full EXIF data
- All reports can be sent by email

Disclaimer:
- For best results use original modified JPEG files (not resaved many times)

## Key features

- Error Level Analysis (ELA) for JPEG images
- Highlights potentially edited regions
- Displays full EXIF data
- Generates ELA maps
- Email reports
