There are a bunch of manipulated photos in the gallery again.
People leaving nice comments must be viewing these with phones. On my 24 inch monitor they are so obvious as to be embarrassing.
Enlarged you can see Jpeg artifacts (little blocks around the edges) from source image in the "painting". It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
I've edited this. I've removed the images from this post. I'll send them to Dawn.
Admin: feel free to delete this post.

I’ve had a quick look on my iMac and you’re absolutely right on that one!
Dawn will remove any offending images in the morning I’m sure.
They are getting more difficult to spot, but we rely on the posters integrity to give an accurate and honest description of the medium used!

Didn't spot them, though maybe they weren't there when I last looked.
Eternal vigilance really does seem to be the answer here, or we end up being taken for fools. One of our number took me to task a while ago for referring to the "integrity of the site": I was too annoyed with her to respond at the time, my response to things sometimes being a touch short-tempered, but it's just this I meant. People on the whole post work honestly here: it's an ignorant insult to them to post work which is dishonestly contrived. (And no, this isn't another dig at digital paintings - which can be just as honestly contrived as any others, so long as we know what they are.) Pretence is the hateful thing - it's so contemptuous of those who try to present their own work without embellishment and without just tarting up someone else's photographs.

Often the clue is the great transformation in skill from other images the person has posted….google the images and they are obvious. Some of them are images from other artists with a bit of overlay….it’s all a bit sad really. The person you mean Collette has reiterated it’s a digital painting…..
