Is this pic photo-shopped??

Having a debate with a friend about this pic:

Does part of this pic look Photo-shopped to any of you that have experience with that type of stuff?

I think the top left bit was added in later.

I concur with the above pixel expert.

Yeah I know about that bit. Was more curious of the black bit to the right of the man bloke at the front and the white down the inside of the left leg.

Nope. All seems fine to me.

No, that's lens-flare, or swamp gas.

The image has definitely been manipulated in order to include the composite image in the top-left quadrant.

Whether this was done in Photoshop is not so easily ascertained. It may be possible to deconstruct the data in the .JPG file to find out which program exported it.

I think the picture containing the 3 people in the top left hand corner has been photoshopped in. I have zoomed in and looked closely and while it's subtle, it's certainly a photoshop.

That's fairly common on low quality images.

Not concerned about the image in the top left corner, as I know that was added
in, was more concerned with the main part of the pic.

No it is 100% not.

Source - My dad is a security camera and has captured many images like this in his time.

Sorry Had to have a little laugh at that

So it is down to the poor quality then and not photoshopped.

Could be and/or Gimp/Photoshop but might not any of them at all really in my thinking.

There are some forensic processes that can be run on the image, however the addition of the inset picture is going to seriously skew the analysis.

What is that?

It's a joke - typo for 'Demon' (i.e. ghost caught on camera).

That isn't the original photograph, it's a screen capture from iOS browsing FB.

The picture you submitted above has nothing out of the ordinary visible which would normally suggest amateur tampering on the error-level-analysis.

Someone professional or skilled could tamper on a finer level, but i'm not really going to go into that on a public forum!

It's not a photoshop, it is a phone cam snapshot of a monitor displaying the security camera video feed, hence the strange lighting around the main figure. (reflection on the monitor screen)
