Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Was that photo image altered by an image editing application? This app might give you a clue (detect it). Non-technically: you see different patterns on parts of the image that have been tweaked. (Technically: it does Error Level Analysis) This is the free version -- there is one ad at the bottom
