KG // August 4, 2008 at 8:45 pmHoly crap. I’ve just duplicated the effort. It’s Maya’s - Maya Kassandra Soetoro. Her name fits perfectly in the artifacts.
So Techdude can check me, the “Y” in Maya comes down into the “D” of “Child’s Name” right into the middle of the top straight line part of the “D”, and penetrates the “D” by four pixels.
KG // August 4, 2008 at 11:07 pmFor those of you who want to do this for yourself:
1. Open BO’s COLB,
1A, Go through Techdude’s changes of hue and contrast. IIRC in the hue change I added a lot of red, and the contrast change - you want to turn the white background pixels nearly white. If you don’t do the hue and contrast changes things aren’t as easy to see, but you can still do this with the original image without these changes.
2. Using arial, 9 pt font, and selecting on the “C” in “Child’s Name”, type in “Maya Kassandra Soetoro”. Use five spaces between the names, like “MAYA SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE KASSANDRA SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE SOETORO”.
3. Zoom in close to the “M” in Maya, just above the “C”. You’ll see some pixel anomalies and you can move the text you just typed in to that point.
4. Now look how well that fits with both the left and right sides of the “M” and look how well it fits with the background pixels of the rest of the word Maya.
5. Now slide on over to “Kassandra”. Make sure you’ve used five spaces between the first, middle and last names. Look at the “K”. Both the vertical stem and the top diagonal stem of the letter and the “shadow” of pixels behind it. Vary your zoom between 600% to 1200%. You’ll see it. Somebody changed the background pixels around these letters.
6. Keep on looking at how the background pixels have been changed to match the letters that were removed.
7. Now ask yourself, is this just coincidence?
