You got it!.

Edge problems, differences in shadow, differences in hue!.

I think the greatest tell-tale sign is porportion: a head that's just a little too big for the body, hands turned the wrong way!. If you look closely, you'll see that things just don't "fit!." It takes a highly skilled technician to photoshop someone into an image and have it go undetected!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Look at the light reflected in the eyes, that's usually a good indicator!. The direction may be different because of eye shape, but if the shape is different, watch out!Www@QuestionHome@Com
