REGULATIONS

Our mission at Trusting Pixels Inc. is to promote an honest visual representation of people in media. One of the ways we achieve this is by creating a regulated framework that every image we authenticate must abide by. Every authenticated watermarked image must at minimum adhere to our 1.0 regulation in order to be considered for authentication. It is on this page that you can find out what all our regulations stand for. This regulated framework allows viewers to know exactly what retouching limits an image is confined to. Simply locate the authenticated image in our gallery to find what regulation the authenticated image abides with.

Body Size - (B) No adjustments to the size of a persons body and/or features.
Skin - (S) No adjustments to skin.
Makeup - (M) No adjustments to makeup.
Hair - (H) No adjustments to hair.

Every image must at minimum adhere to our 1.0 regulation in order to be considered for authentication. As the chart above shows, higher regulation numbers indicate that an image is more authentic. In addition to our regulation numbers, we also include letters which allows our regulated system to work in a non-additive way.

For example, a client may have removed a blemish on their subjects’ skin, but has not retouched their subject’s body shape, makeup, and hair. In this instance, any regulation number above 1.0 would not be valid because the subject’s skin is edited. However, since the image has no retouching edits done to the subject’s makeup and hair, the regulation “1.0-M-H” can be granted. The “1.0” signifies that the image has no adjustments to the person body shape, while the “M” and “H” indicates that no adjustments were done to the subject’s makeup (M) and hair (H).
