No, the pixels between the letters, between the halos.
"You certainly did a very poor job of doing so because you made the best case yet that the absence of green pixels in certain areas showed that the letters were cut and pasted into place causing the ringing or haloing you weren't talking about....."
Still completely wrong. The halos are not the issue. I pasted the halos in along with the letters. The space between them was the issue. You're the one going on about the halos so you assumed that's what the discussion was about, despite the fact that it was explained otherwise in my post.
Why because sometimes it is green and sometimes it is not.
Tthis picture is your proof that haloing or ringing is not proof of photo shoping because we can still see some green pixels between the letters in a couple of areas.....
Watch this....
using a thin pink line I will show the areas effected by the select process vs the areas where the green was unaffected by the placement of the selected text.
The ringing or haloing you are not talking about and weren't trying to disprove is the proof even a novice can see is a perfect example of the type of distortions seen at the pixel level as a result of photoshopping.
Trying to prove that because you can see green in the larger gaps between letters and text only works if you ignore the Obvious and are oblivious to your own findings.
sure the green will show up in open areas but it is those ringed or haloed areas where the photoshopping reveals itself.....
