Practical checks for understanding where an image came from, what changed and which evidence you can still trust.
To tell if a picture is photoshopped, start with the file: editing software and edit history often stay in it. Then look for light and shadows that disagree, warped lines near bodies, repeated textures, odd text, and earlier copies of the image online. No single sign proves an edit; several together make a strong case.

No. TinEye is a reverse image search engine: it finds copies of an image it has seen online and can show the oldest one, but it does not judge whether an image was made with AI. A brand-new AI image usually returns no results, which is itself a clue. Use TinEye for history and an AI checker for origin.
