No, it really isn't possible if the person altering the photo is good at it. It is possible to zoom in and change a picture pixel by pixel and if it is done well, you would never know. A program can't tell anything except how many pixels are used what size they are. It can't make a determination of whether the pixels have been altered or not.

Not quite. Digital images are becomeing more and more advanced and so are the techniques used to manipulate them.
You can prove most fake ones to be fake, but can you prove the real ones to be real? That will be the delima of our near future!
