When examining a public figure's image, comparing it to the official copy deposited for copyright registration can help verify its integrity. S. Copyright Office requires applicants to submit a digital copy of each photograph in JPEG, GIF, or TIFF format during the registration process.

These registered copies represent the visual work as submitted by the copyright claimant. Verifying the image against these official deposits can help identify whether subsequent edits or alterations have been made.
