Fringe benefits
Talking to the New York Times Magazine about the software he's developed to spot signs of tampering in digital images, Professor Hany Farid reveals an unexpected fringe benefit of being an expert in this particular field:
[...] Farid began thinking about how to authenticate digital imagery after discovering that photos taken with a digital camera could be considered admissible evidence in United States courts. As a pioneer in this type of forensic analysis, he receives numerous unsolicited e-mail messages from Photoshop-fraud victims, including one from a Brazilian model who claimed Budweiser spliced her head onto the body of another woman in a print ad. "You gotta love this job if you've got supermodels calling you," Farid says.
