Digital photography analyzing

[marting]

Also, as far as I know, we do have the original JPG in full resolution. And this JPG does not show some creature on the right hand side. Even without Bayer and sensors - there's only one possible conclusion so far: Someone played around with that picture.

Yes, the "enhanced" picture does look "painted" to me as well.

Well, if after 37 pages and 1,461 posts in that "other" thread, we never saw a full size enhanced photo, I somehow doubt we will now. The enhancement included the crop, probably to make the scene look better.

marting, maybe it should be noted that the Bushnell camera does 4MP interpolated as well.

Perhaps we should ask again?

Is there a full size enhanced photo, Creek? Thunderfoot? Was the photo cropped by Russo when you got it back? Was the enhanced and cropped photo ever on the SD card?

 

[ThunderFoot]

Yes, but for this to work we would need the "enhanced" picture in the original resolution of the camera, and not only the cropped and resized JPG we have so far.

That is the only enhanced photo I have. He did not give me anything other than the cropped photo. Sorry.

By the way guys, you are doing a fantastic job. I am leaning loads just watching you. Thank all of you so very much.

Now it's off to my next job. Well, somebody's gotta pay the bills around here,,LOL.

I'm just lurking on this thread but would like to second that comment. The analysis performed on these photos has been extremely useful. On the other thread I was 90/10 on the photo being manipulated. All of you got rid of that annoying 10%!

Thanks Wahrheit, I appreciate the links and definitely the third link shows a similar helicopter in about the same orientation. From that it is clear how the tail rotor might not be visible in the OP picture.

I certainly do not claim to be an expert in photographic analysis. I only know what I had to do in order to composite pictures (which I have been doing for a long time, even before computers and digital cameras). What I have not done is examine other people’s photographs in order to determine alteration. Perhaps, the pixilation aspects that I described before, which you did not see, are only due to my expectations of composite pictures and may be the result of digital pictures in general (which I have not examined in that detail without actively compositing).

You have provided reasonable explanations for all the concerns that I have presented. As such, I must stipulate that I can provide no definite evidence that the picture has been altered.

That being said, the “enhancements” made to the picture in order to see the Bigfoot can be seen anywhere. Someone might see the same image on their grilled cheese sandwich.

Baron, the second simulacra's "shoulder" aka the little Y tree, is also in the far right of this photo.

Yes LTC the only problem with this photograph of the day after is that it needed to be a little more to the right. Just a little more and he would have had the same area, but it's not quite there.

I am, when I get time too, going to go back to that location and take more photographs. I have been studying the photographs we have and I have found some landmarks I think I should be able to find.

 

[ThunderFoot]

Also LTC in the other day after photos I have not be able find landmarks where I can say for sure "that is the spot".

All I was trying to achive was to bring the eyes out becouse a freind of mine would not beleave it could be done . I did this by turning the blues up and I probly did more then that but I do not remember all that I did to tell you the truth . But I did achive what I set out to do and that was just to show that the eyes could be brought out by just adjusting and not adding .

Sounds like an admission to me...

??? I have no idea what you are talking about. The quote you just posted was not even on this thread and not by me.

Further discussion of this issue should be taken to the appropriate moderated thread. THIS thread is for discussion of technical techniques - NOT about any claims regarding the image itself.

My question: Has the orginal photograph been tampered with or photoshopped with cut and paste or things of the sort? Also I would like to know if someone can enhance the orginal photograph with the same rusults and provide documentation of how they went through the process

I merely repsonded to the question from Thunderfoot with a quote from the photographer that I think answers those questions. That answer being no, the original photo was not "tampered with or photoshopped with cut and paste or things of the sort", and no, no one can enhance the photograph with the same results.

Thunderfoot, why won't the person who did the enhancement explain how it was done to you? I would think they would be the person who could best help you out. Even if you didn't understand it, you could tell us what he said, and someone here could explain the terms and processes to you.

As in my orginal post I would like to find a person who is proficient in this field who can enhance the photograph and would not mind showing their work process. And bring me out of the digital photography dark a little. The friend of mine who did the first enhacment will not come to this fourm and I respect his wishes on this issue.

LTC I have to agree with Chill on this issue that these questions are not prudent to this thread. If you would like to ask those questions on the other thread I will do my best to answer them. Provided the make it passed moderation.
