    I dont have much (or any!!:D) experience with photoshop, but im curious is there definitive way to tell if a photo is genuine or not???
    Or is it simply a battle of the experts?? It seems that every photo that surfaces is branded a fake,is it even worth while trying to get one???:(

    Can someone with experience give advice on exactly what someone can do to make their photo easier to examine and possibly verify???

    this is where i get confused about the 'experts' proving something isn't photoshopped.

    If a photo is photoshoped well, using high resolution images and with time and care taken in doing so and then downsampled to a low quality jpeg, then its quite difficult to detect a forgery.

    Exif data can be faked so its of no use which is why photographs with negatives (ie film) are more highly regarded than digital images.

    use a film camera

    plus make sure there arent people walking around in the background which then get mistaken for a 'ghost'. :D
