  Digitization of image was a revolutionary step for the fields of photography
and Image processing as this made the editing of images much effortless and
easier. Image editing was not an issue until it was limited to corrective
editing procedures used to enhance the quality of an image such as, contrast
stretching, noise filtering, sharpening etc. But, it became a headache for many
fields when image editing became manipulative. Digital images have become an
easier source of tampering and forgery during last few decades. Today users and
editing specialists, equipped with easily available image editing software,
manipulate digital images with varied goals. Photo journalists often tamper
photographs to give dramatic effect to their stories. Scientists and
researchers use this trick to get theirs works published. Patients' diagnoses
are misrepresented by manipulating medical imageries. Lawyers and Politicians
use tampered images to direct the opinion of people or court to their favor.
Terrorists, anti-social groups use manipulated Stego images for secret
communication. In this paper we present an effective method for detecting
spatial domain Steganography.
