How can you tell?

Hey, well, I'm pretty new at this, so, how can you tell if a picture that you recieved in real or a pp?

A pre-printed picture means that the signature and the photo are all under one layer, so if you hold it up to the light it will all kind of reflect in the same way. There will be no difference between the reflection on the main photo to that on the writing.

On a real one, if you hold it up to the light again, then the signature should reflect the light differently to the photo, because its a seperate layer.

Its quite difficult to explain, so if its still unclear you could get something from Studio Fan Mail to make the comparison.

thanks for trying to clear things up for me. See, I was browsing across some sites when I came across thins one and it just snagged my attention. Since then, I've been wanting to start my own collection. I think I understand what you meant in your explanation. Thanks again.
