Adobe Develops AI That Can Detect If Faces Were Manipulated In Photoshop
Researchers at Adobe and UC Berkeley have developed an AI method that can detect whether faces in photos were manipulated using Adobe Photoshop’s Liquify Tool. The research team trained a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) on thousands of portrait images on which Face Aware Liquify was applied using a Photoshop script.
In a series of subsequent experiments, the AI was able to correctly detect 99.4% of manipulated images, as compared to humans who were able to detect 53.5%. The AI was also able to identify which parts of the face were edited, and in some cases, it could “undo” a manipulation to reconstruct the original, unedited image.
