Digital images are often used to prove facts because of their presumed objectivity. However, manipulating images has never been so easy. In this webinar, we'll see how Amped Authenticate allows unveiling the processing history of an image: which was the originating device model and exemplar? What metadata is present in the image, and is it consistent? Does the image come from a social network? Was it re-compressed, color-processed, scaled? Did it undergo some local tampering operation, such as object removal, addition, cloning? We'll also show how Amped Authenticate allows reporting all the findings in a compelling and forensically sound report, and we'll describe the various automated and batch processing options available in the software. If you are an experienced video analyst this webinar is for you!
