ABOUT ANTI-PHOTOSHOP (AP)
A cutting-edge technology to track digital image manipulation
Poised to be a leader in the digital image forensics space, AP uses unique technology to
determine whether and in which way a digital image has been altered from its original form:
including images of texts, figures and photographs. Relevant to both the B2B and B2C market,
AP works to save time and money as well as insure transparency.

THE PROBLEM
Around the world, decisions are made and
significant funds exchanged, on the basis of
images. Used to drive sales
of goods and services, or to substantiate
claims, very often these images do not
correspond to reality.
August 2016 Anti-Photoshop (AP) 3
THE SOLUTION
We at AP believe in providing the tools needed to ensure that image based digital
communication be transparent.
AP technology can:
◙ Identify digital manipulation ahead of contractual agreements.
◙ Highlight the exact changes and rank the authenticity of the image.
◙ Offer a digital seal of approval for business clients.
◙ Ensure transparency among businesses, and between companies and consumers.
AP is unique: it will scan all major types of image files directly from a mobile device/desktop
computer. Our proprietary algorithm detects changes, such as Photoshop/Image
manipulation, marks and ranks the changes as AP Verified or Not Verified, finally sealing it
with a warning score.

CONSUMERS ARE BECOMING AWARE
Anti-Photoshop movements are growing fast and
will help push the AP app to the consumer.
Across the US organizations are starting petitions
to ban Photoshop in advertising.
Israel has already passed a law obliging all
advertising with Photoshop effects to carry a
warning label.

The days of impossibly thin models and
botched Photoshop jobs may soon be
behind us. Yesterday, ModCloth, an e-
retailer became the first retailer to sign the
“Heroes Pledge For Advertisers,”
promising not to “change the shape, size,
proportion, color and/or remove/enhance
the physical features” of models.

The app will positively affect teen age self
confidence, eating disorders and body image
disorders by highlighting the implausible nature
of certain digitally enhanced celeb/model
photos.

billion a year industry with an average of 2,670
fraudulent claims made every week in the UK.

estimating that 20 percent of all automotive
insurance claims paid (about $140 million) were
fraudulent.
Insurance industry studies reveal that 10 percent or
more of claims filed are fraudulent (GEICO,
“GEICO’s Special Investigations Unit”), many of
which include digitally edited photos.
