    Photoshop requires time and talent to make a believable image.

    This requires neither.

      But it has been possible, for more than a decade

        You said “but” like it invalidated what I said, instead of being a true statement and a non sequitur.

        You aren’t wrong, and I don’t think that changes what I said either.

    Well yeah, I’m not concerned with its ease to use nowadays. I’m more concerned with the computer forensics experts not being able to detect a fake for which Photoshop has always been detectable.

        Just wait, image manipulation will happen at image creation and there will be no “original”. Proving an image is unmanipulated will be a landmark legal precedent and set the standard for being able to introduce photographic evidence. It is already a problem for audio recordings and will be eventually for video.
