Can You Detect Photo Forgeries?

“If people can't differentiate between real and fake details in photos, manipulations could frequently alter what we believe and remember."

We are confronted with altered images every day, from air brushing in fashion photos to false images in memes, but remain mostly oblivious to this kind of manipulation.

A study in the journal Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications found that people could detect a false image only 60 percent of the time. And even when they knew an image was false, study subjects could only identify what was wrong with it 45 percent of the time.

How good are you at spotting fakes? Take the test.
