The convention bureau’s hero image reverse-matches a photographer’s portfolio labeled as another city. What should staff do before reprinting it?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Tourism sites borrow skylines the way restaurants borrow food photos—pretty, and sometimes from the wrong town. Reverse image is how you catch a “our city” banner that is actually someone else’s waterfront. Confirm the match, then swap the art.
Full Explanation
Civic marketing imagery is frequently licensed, scraped, or mislabeled, so reverse-image search is a standard authenticity and attribution check. A portfolio labeled as another city is a strong reason to pause reprinting and verify architecture against known local views. Captions do not override visual matches, and converting color does not fix misattribution. The professional action is to replace the asset if the place is wrong.
