• Identify airbrushing    
• An airbrushed image is a kind of modified image
  that looks different. You can know about this
  image by locating telltale signs because it is
  not easy to remove these signs while airbrushing
  an image. Regardless of your wonderful skin, many
  light sources create shadows on sheer wrinkles
  and pores. If the weak points are erased using
  digital tools, the natural lighting remains.
  Overall, you can find some imperfections on an
  airbrushed image. 
• Locate warping signs
• In addition to viewing an images subject, you
  will need something more to see the complete
  picture. Because, through warping, a particular
  area of an image can be contracted and expanded.
  Find direct lines around the background of an
  image and make sure that they follow the laws of
  science. Here is an example to understand it. If
  your friend has sent you a picture with excellent
  biceps and you find warped tiles around the
  biceps, then that photo may be an edited one.

• Find Patterns and Repeated objects
• As you clone an app on your smartphone, just like
  that, professionals can also clone an image using
  Photoshop methods. Image cloning helps in erasing
  stains from facial skin by placing other things
  on the actual place. It also helps in removing
  airbrushing marks.
• Shadows
• It is used for third-class modification. However,
  it is a beginner mistake, but an individual can
  do that. You have to remember that every subject
  present in an image creates a shadow. In addition
  to it, when you capture a picture with multiple
  persons at 5 in the evening, a different shadow
  will form compared to an image captured at
  midday. By looking at the sun, you can ensure the
  shadows length and height. You can also observe
  different shadows for all the available subjects
  of an image.  
• Blurry area and JPEG noise
• Do you know an image gets compressed if used to
  share, save, and upload across various social
  platforms or any online activities? Yes, you
  might have noticed the original image after
  sharing it on any social media. Such kinds of
  images combine unpleasant blurred spots. 
• Observe EXIF and geolocation data
• Do you know about the metadata of an image?
  Metadata gets collected when an image is
  captured. It includes data such as the name of
  the used camera, aperture, the focal length, etc.
  Metadata also includes coordinates about the
  location. On the other hand, EXIF data follows
  the rules of photography. If you find anything
  different from regular photography rules, then
  that image has been modified. 
• Consider image editing checker tools 
• In addition to all the above methods, image
  editing checker tools are the best to identify a
  modified image. You can go online to find image
  editing tools.
