Hoax: Cougar pictures fakedDNR: Seney woman used photo from the Internet in bogus cat sighting claim; she maintains it’s real”

Come on people, there are cougars and no you don’t have a picture of one.  We have jpeg compression error level analysis algorithms that can tell if any part of an image was added by a different device then the one that made the image, how many changes that were made, relative time line of changes, total number of computers or programs that may have edited such photo.  And yet these people think since they have photoshop they are above mathematical image compressions……  If anyone is interested there is a great wired article here, where some al qeadi released photos are analyzed.   And the 83 page pdf presented on such technology, I just happened to have read a couple months ago.
