Me too. Maybe our brains don't fool us, eh?
I think there’s a dime on the ground in the one on the right. Mercury head.
You know what is interesting? I dragged it to my desktop to copy it, and in the thumbnail that displays...they look exactly the same. Opening them in Photoshop, between 16.7% and 25%, you began to see them diverge from each other in perspective.
All those little visual cues that fool the brain must not be present when it is too small...
See, it is posts like yours that make me pay money to login to Free Republic...:)
> There is only 1 image file, both images are contained in it. You got something wrong.
Oops. :-) Thanks for catching that. The method I used was fine, but I wasn’t comparing what I thought I was.
What I did is right-click the left photo on this page and download it, then right-click the right photo and download it (without ever displaying them). If I had, I’d have noticed that each file contained both photos. :-)
Too bad the individual photos weren’t posted from different files. That way a simple automatic comparison would be possible using the method I used.
Whenever I work with multiple images in a browser, I left-click (like selecting text) and slide my cursor across them; If they all “light up” at the same time, I know it’s all one image file.
Me too.
The sharp and blurry stuff is an artifact of your brain’s visual processing, or your eyesight diverges - the images are identical.
Same here! Mildly annoying...
Ta-da!
I was convinced that I saw the left photo blurry. It still is! my brain an eyes are fine!
I just realized I was commenting on the second set of photos and not on the first. (not the ones with A and B)
:)
Good tip, thanks. I wouldn't expect a problem doing that with ordinary images. I wondered, though, if when I left-click an image that serves as a link to another page, I'd be taken there. Apparently not, though, not if I hold the mouse button down as you say and slide to the right before releasing it (I'm using Firefox and a desk computer). Here's a test example for persons who are using something else -- W3 schools example.
With plain html, that would probably always work. If I recall correctly, JavaScript writers can read both the mouse button press and its release, and perhaps do things we don't want as soon as it's pressed. In nearly all instances, though, you wouldn't be taken to another page if the mouse is moved before it's released.
Your method looks like a good quick way to determine what's included in an image. I'll try to remember to use it from now on.
Someone just now changed the second set of photos.
Originally it didn’t have that black square and mouse pointer on the right side photo.
If you start with your cursor outside the image before you click and slide, its being a hyperlink wont matter.
As you say, JavaScript is a whole ‘nuther ball of wax.
If anyone is still convinced that the photos are different, you can prove yourself wrong by doing a screen capture of one of the images (Windows snipping tool works), then saving that image as a file. Now open that file and save it under another name, without modifying it. Then open both identical image files side by side. Whichever image is on the right will appear to angle right.
They look identical to me, too.
I too love these brain teasers. Try these:

Kokichi Sugihara is a master at these. Here is my favorite of his:
