photo editing - How to identify photoshop-edited files


If I have saved an image in JPG format after doing some edits, is there a way to identify that it is edited with Photoshop?

it depends what you're looking for.



1) File Meta-info: the meta information contained within the file can reveal which s/w saved the photo last (with possible edits). But this can easily be changed afterwards or deleted by another s/w.


2) Image data: now, if you're looking to find out if a photo file has been tempered (edits made to it), you should look into Error Level Analysis and photo forensics.
