Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This paper gives the definitions, and describes the application, of a classification system for photographic veracity relating to medical and forensic images. It uses practical examples to demonstrate the reasons and parameters for using such a system. It also calls for continued discussion on what the limits and extent should be for the parameters.</p> <p>A debate encompassing the advantages and disadvantages of manipulating photographs goes back well before the introduction of digital imaging and has continued since the introduction of photography in the mid-nineteenth century. This author's first foray dates back twenty years^{<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT0001">1</xref>}.</p> <p>The introduction of digital imaging only gave the debate new impetus and new problems to solve^{<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CIT0002">2</xref>}, some of which might be resolved as suggested in this paper.</p> </abstract>
