What is photo credibility and why does it matter?
Since the advent of digital photography in 1998, we have been photographing the
world at an unprecedented pace. But digital photography has spawned new issues with

How does photos.com.au reflect photo credibility?
Here at photos.com.au we have integrated information about photo
credibility into our photo uploading, sharing and exploring. When you upload
your photos to our site, you are able to nominate whether your photo is
unaltered, altered, or a photo illustration, and you can also describe
what alterations you have made to your photo. When others view your photo,
they will see what type of photo credibility you have stated for your photo.
We have more plans for photo credibility mechanisms, so stay tuned!
