Check shadows and lighting
Shadows should match the light source. If they don’t, the photo might be edited.
Watch for distorted backgrounds
Bent, stretched, or warped backgrounds? Could be a Photoshop giveaway.
Examine metadata (EXIF Data) 📄
Camera info, date, and editing software can reveal if a photo’s been manipulated.
Reverse image search
Use Google Images or TinEye to see if the photo appears elsewhere.
Spot unrealistic details
Overly perfect skies or landscapes might be AI-generated. Check reflections and proportions.
