Does anyone know if it is possible to look at a picture and see if it has been photoshoppef or AI generated?

Short answer is yes.

Slightly longer and more interesting thread would be for you to post the picture you're concerned about and let us have a look.

Don’t apologise, all forums are different. If you can save the image down to your computer then when you click “upload an image” you should be able to navigate to the file. As long as it’s under 10mb then it should upload (the wizard will tell you if it’s too big).

Ai generated images are reasonably easy to spot. They're generally 'too' good.

Here's an Ai image:



Putting aside the practical challenges of capturing a shot like this, look closely and you can see a few oddities, chief among which are the sharpness of lines:





It would be almost impassible to achieve that level of sharpness when shooting this type of shot with a camera.

And take a look at the detail in the distance:



I can't think of any camera / lens combo that could achieve that level of sharpness for an object so far from the main subject.

And personally, I think the colouring isn't 'real'. To my eyes, it looks more like a very good cartoon.

Photoshop is a bit trickier to spot but depends on the quality of the work. Good Photoshopping is imperceptible.

Key things to look for is odd changes in tone and colouring - like a face that looks like it was photographed on a different day.

As mentioned, post the image here and we'll take a look.
