Composite Photoshop Image Not Admissible
STATE V SWINTON May 11, 2004 (Connecticut_SC 16548)
A case in which the use of two different software packages are discussed by the Court. One image developed through the software was admissible, but another image developed using Photoshop was found not to be admissible. While this case may be limited to its specific facts, it could be a potentially dangerous case because how it could be used to limit images edited in Photoshop. It boils down to the wrong witness was put on the stand to authenticate what had been done with the image. Essentially, the witness could not explain, because he did not know, what had been done with the image.
