Johnny Depp's lawyer accused Amber Heard of altering photos showing her bruises

• Johnny Depp's lawyer accused Amber Heard of altering photos showing bruises on her face.
• Depp's attorney showed two photos side-by-side taken from the name night, but one has more color.
• "No, I've never edited a photograph," Heard said during her cross-examination on Tuesday.

Johnny Depp's lawyer accused Amber Heard of altering photos showing bruises on her face during cross-examination in Depp's ongoing defamation trial against his ex-wife on Tuesday.

Depp's lawyer pulled up two photographs from May 2016 that have been entered as evidence in the trial — one that seemingly shows red-ish bruises on Heard's cheeks and another that shows her face looking paler and with less color.

Heard had testified that the only difference between the two photographs was the lighting.

When Depp's attorney said it looked like a light was turned on in both photos, Heard said that the photo seemingly showing more color was taken using a make-up light with a yellow hue.

"Isn't it true you just edited these photographs?" Depp's attorney asked.

"No, I've never edited a photograph," Heard responded. 

"Didn't you just enhance the saturation for one of these photos to make your face look more red?" Depp's attorney then asked. 

"No, that's incorrect. I didn't touch it," Heard said.

Depp's attorney then brought up multiple testimonies from people who said they didn't notice any bruises on Heard when they saw her in the days following May 21, 2016, the day the photo showing bruises on Heard's face was taken.  

Depp sued Heard in 2019, accusing her of defamation after she wrote a 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post saying she was a victim of domestic violence. Heard has countersued, accusing Depp of assaulting her before and during their marriage, which ended in 2016.
