The vision for this was a photo verification service both publications and readers can use to verify authenticity of a published image. Product-wise, we were envisioning a browser plugin that would run photo validation on the images on the page, as well as a standalone website to submit an image for validation. A playful twist on the idea was a game where you'd be shown an image, asked whether it was photoshopped, and given points for guessing correctly.
