This image was posted on another forum I frequent. Claims its not photoshopped at all. Can anyone with a good eye see anything that would say for sure if its real or not

I'm not a 'professional' but I'd definitely say thats a photoshop. It looks exactly like an old black and white photo superimposed into a modern digital photo at low opacity.
I ran the image through JPEGsnoop, which is a free program which anyone can download and what it does is check compression signatures.
If this image has been processed in any way in the photo shop program it will leave a photo shop compression signature and the JPEGsnoop program will detect it.

There is no photo shop compression signature, otherwise it would say so in this area.
JPEGsnoop was not able to detect the camera. I think this is the first time I've seen it ask for the camera to be added to the data base. So, whoever took the photo either has a camera that is not well known and not entered into the JPEGsnoop database as of yet, or, something else is going on.
Which is the case I do not know.
I ran the image through some filters to enhance.
Here's the small of it:

http://209.85.122.83/2505/120/0/p1017599/ScreenShot039.jpg
And here again magnified and cropped:

http://209.85.122.83/2505/120/0/p1017602/ScreenShot041.jpg
http://209.85.122.83/2505/120/0/p1017603/ScreenShot042.jpg

As you might have noticed, the eyes don't make too much sense.
It appears to be a little girl and there looks to be locks of hair cascading down to her shoulder. It also looks to be from a time before we were born, perhaps the 1800's not sure, judging by the clothing she's wearing. Ah, 1900's seems likely too.
In the topmost of the magnified pictures there looks to be a reptilian sort of eye... with triangular pupils, underneath it, a vaguely detectable eye.
In the next filter, slightly bluer, one could almost make out two eyes at the same level, perhaps looking to the left, though they still seem set too high on the face. You can just look the distance that nose goes to see it is not a common distance.
In the green image, and I guess vaguely in all of them, there seems to be an eye to the right that would be at about the right proximity along the nose yet it's a bit jumbled above that level and where the opposite eye would be... where it should properly be, it looks like it's been patched over or grown over with skin.

Ok so this is not "Imaged Edited" because its just a photo of a girl and someone is using a projector to cast the image of the ghost.I adjusted the image and on the on the front of the girl is a light source from a low light emiter which is from the projector. You can tell the image is being projected from the bottom left of the image and the girl is getting some glow off of the beam. You can see where the light bounced on the wooden floor too. You can see a more natural highlight from the projectors beam glow on the girl in the green image. There should be no light source on the front of the girl just cause of the intense light behind here. So not "photo-shopped" but not a real ghost.http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/b1u3f0x/2.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/b1u3f0x/1.jpg

You know I thought that too. For I had something like that for my android phone but you can not see any overlay of the ghost on the girl. Mainly because its being projected from the bottom left and just behind the girl.

It's on her left wrist and hand.

Here's one called Ghost Capture (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ghost-capture/id349479650?mt=8). There are others.
What forum did you find this on?

Not really as once again the program has stated the image is processed/edited and she has not actually read it and claimed it shows no 'photoshop'. She needs to actually learn to use the software she uses as every time she uses it to 'prove' her claims, it says the complete opposite.
Now if we want a professional opinion I can actually get that done, I have many who actually work in that area, they do photo analysing for me all the time.

I've just had a look, and it's a free app as well! I shall download it and amaze friends and colleagues with hideous images of ghostly things... or not.

Sometimes this site can be so funny.:D
Chinese lanterns again.
Mystery solved then. Good idea cess, thanks for uploading the images of the apps infidelyork, and if they hadn't come up with that, smokey_shaman, I was going for your idea of the projector, because it just looked that way with it reflecting on the floor and all.
Thanks chattanova, and my pleasure.

It depends what kind of camara it was taken on, it could be double exposure, but it looks like an old photograph to me because of it being black and white. Ah ok app then lol (just read last post)
Research rocks!!! Way to go!
RESEARCH IS AWESOME.

I agree that it looks like they have used a photo projector, you can tell just by looking if you have ever seen one in action. clever but doesnt look real, you would 'feel' if it was real also

I think it's already been sorted that it's an iPhone app called Ghost Capture.
