Verify whether an image or video is authentic, original and correctly captioned — provenance checks, error level analysis, noise and JPEG compression analysis, clone and copy-move detection, lighting and shadow consistency, C2PA Content Credentials, deepfake and AI-generation tells, and the honest limits of AI-detector tools. Use when fact-checking a photo or video, checking for a deepfake or AI-generated image, spotting manipulation, or testing whether footage is recycled or miscaptioned. Applies to KYC and onboarding fraud, insurance claim review, disinformation analysis, and evidence admissibility. Reference at useosint.com/skills/is-this-photo-real.
