As a result, I have rewritten the three paragraphs of narrative that originally followed the table, and are presented below. Please refer to these in your review of the report. Thanks!
The image with the highest compression ratio, where lower is better, and the second highest color count, where higher is better, was the original Daily Kos image, with a 3% compression ratio, and a 70,604 color count. Next in line was the Factcheck image with a 6% compression ratio and a 77,903 color count. Although the Fight The Smears image, and Politifact image had lower compression ratios than the images posted on the Daily Kos and Factcheck, they were also the smallest in terms of file size and image size, and had less than half of the colors displayed in the two largest images.
As for which of these characteristics are most important, a larger image size and a higher color count can compensate for higher levels of image compression. Although the Factcheck image was larger in size than the Daily Kos image, when it is cropped to the same dimensions of the Daily Kos image (2427 x 2369 from 2550 x 3300), and saved at a JPG quality level of 46%, the resulting Factcheck image will now have the same file size and use the same amount of computer memory as the Daily Kos image. However, its new color count will virtually be the same as the original, full-size image (from 77,903 to 77,478).
Normally, when a JPG image is saved with a quality level, or compression level, less than 40%, the image that results will not appear to be clear and sharp unless it is viewed at its original size. However, if you only get to view an image that was reduced to be a fraction of its original size, let's say, at the size of the COLB images displayed on Obama's Fight The Smears website, it will seem to look "just fine" when small, but look horrible when you try to enlarge it.
One of the other main differences between the FTS image and the Daily Kos image is its resolution: the FTS image is 100 DPI versus 300 DPI for the Daily Kos image. When you enlarge the FTS image to be the same size as the Daily Kos image, you will see a lot of visual gibberish, which as I said, is exactly what FTS wanted you to see.
Not only was their original image intentionally shrunk down to the size of an image "thumbnail," it was not resized proportionately; i.e., if you change its height to be the same size as the Daily Kos image, its width would be seventeen (17) pixels narrower than it should be. In other words, its aspect ratio was changed, calculated as height divided by width.
Wow this is amazing work. I hope someone is using it well.
This imposter must be stopped and I pray your hard work convinces the powers that be that we have a serious problem with this candidate!!!
Thank you and God bless!!
