understand its success story, unique technology and future implications. Then we would suggest future technology applications which may create a complementary market the one that Lightricks operate in. Namely, we will suggest ways to detect image manipulations in automatic ways. We expect this technology, if realized, will have important applications in dating sites, forensics and social awareness movements. Introduction Jerusalem-based Lightricks was founded in 2013 by five…
