1. Save the untouched original
Remember to keep the original file safe and remember where you obtained it from. Screenshotting or re-exporting the original copy before the detection step will not work. Using clear file names can avoid mixing the original and the processed version.
2. Record the baseline
Upload your original file into a tool for detection and save its result. If it fails in detecting your file, note that information and try with another sample of your original data for the removal step. Never consider an undetected original file a success of your process.
3. Review the processed media
Analyze the appearance or audio quality before concluding about the original status. It can include different modifications, such as changes to the text, faces, and edges in an image or video. Changes can also refer to audio artifacts, flickering and other modifications.
4. Check the final export
Upload a downloaded file with the detector used initially. Document if it was detected, not detected, or if there is no support for it. Note the detection settings along with the file version used.
5. Keep claims proportional
A single test proves how your file has changed under these circumstances. For broader conclusions, use a couple of different representative files for the same process. Undetected status does not make your file human-made.
