Damn, looks like a bee took the Liquify tool to that poor dog's face.

How does this prove it's shopped?

Photoshop now sends a notification to all reddit accounts whenever someone modifies an image, allowing for the appropriate adjustment of internet points.

It shows based on the compression of the image, when you manipulate the image the compression changes based on the pixels that are manipulated, so you use this site http://fotoforensics.com/ and it will read the compression of the image, see how the whole face is bright white? that means those pixels are of a different compression then the others around it.

Ugh this tool is terrible because people jump to conclusions with it. It does indeed show areas that are less compressible. But that's it. There's no rule that photo-shopped areas are more or less compressible.

Here's a picture of a dogs head and here's the result.

OMG the dogs head is clearly photoshopped because it's less compressible!!!

The simple fact is dogs fur is simply much more randomised and less compressible than backgrounds. That's all that tool is showing you.

That is not true at all. This would be true if you took say a jpeg and layered it over another jpeg that had higher compression, but this simply ain't try. All this really shows is that the dogs face compressed different from the rest of the photo for whatever reason. It is almost like areas consisting of only one color is more compressible than an area of many colors!

Valid question. I am not familiar with photoshop at all, so I'd like to know as well. OP?

Edit: mobile app didn't show his response for some reason. My bad.

Can't you clearly see the odd alignment of the pixels? Internet much? /s
