What about a tag in an image file indicating it is not the original?

Taking it further, what about including each edited image in the file?

And how would you mandate it being obeyed?

making the file huge.

However, that's an history file. The Gimp saves images that way, undo works.

Utterly pointless. Anyone that understands the file formats can tell if
something has been through one of the common image editing programs and
many cameras include enough meta information and use custom quantisation
tables in their JPEGs to effectively have signed the original image.

You cannot stop someone producing a convincing edited fake that looks
entirely authentic using already existing tools.

If you want the file size to grow exponentially then why not?

Strangely NASA have a bug in their workflow that means sometimes they
publish images which contain two or three identical thumbnails with a
brace of original images concatenated. Unclear how or why they do it.

Mickeysoft Word does that sometimes to corporate documents where users
drag and drop images into report templates originally written in a
legacy version. The document grows exponentially in size each time it is
edited with different versions of Word as more and more orphaned image
data accumulates in the file with each iteration.

the bigger problem is preventing its removal.

the correct way to indicate an image original and never modified is to
cryptographically sign it, which is what some cameras do.

only if done incorrectly.

However, that's an history file. The Gimp saves images that way, undo works.


saving the undo history in the image is silly. is that gimp's lame
attempt at non-destructive editing because they refuse to do it
correctly? if so, that's laughable.

Interesting.

No way. Say the original is 10 Mb. Each modification saved is another 10 Mb.

Ha ha. They are doing it correctly. You are biased.

that's doing it incorrectly.

the correct way to do it is by saving an edit list and replay it, not
saving a version of the entire image each time.

each step is *tiny*, measured in bytes and replaying is *fast*,
especially when rendered on a gpu.

However, that's an history file. The Gimp saves images that way, undo
works.

nope. they aren't doing it at all and have no immediate plans to do so.

they now claim that it might be added in version 3.2 (a change from
their previous claim which was a flat 'no'), except they haven't
figured out how to do it, according to their own road map.

the gimp is a toy, lacking features photoshop had 30 years ago and
*significantly* slower on the same hardware.

That's not what the OP said, and needs having the same application for
replaying the steps.

That's not what the OP said,


he initially wanted a way to confirm that a photo had not been altered,
and the only way to do that is by signing it.

he mentioned including a snapshot at every step. that's a bad idea for
all sorts of reasons.

and needs having the same application for
replaying the steps.


not an issue, and other compatible apps can work.

However, that's an history file. The Gimp saves images that way, undo
works.

Ha ha.


read their roadmap and do some comparisons.

some kind of signed image might also be a way to protect copyright
