I agree with the posters here. If it was not flagged as photographed it would have been flagged as low-quality or crooked anyway.

How do L8s determine if a card is photographed or scanned? It is easy to see the differences in cards scanned in sleeves from raw scans, but what about a photographed card, neatly cropped? How would you tell? ------------------------------- *Bob*

Angles are the biggest giveaway. One can also tell by the lighting or reflection caught in a photo.

Exactly what Joshua said. Usually, a photo of a card will look more narrow on one side or end of the card than the other side/end. It's very difficult to photo a card with a perfect angle and have no reflection of lighting or surroundings.
