“But as I say, I work with these images all day long. The more compression used the more odd artifacts.”
As do I. If it were compression, the problem would be uniform across the entire pic. It is not.
Yes it is. This is ridiculous.
The artifacts around the text are consistent with the artifacts around the tree line and sky. Same artifacts, same flat areas of semi-solid color.
This is not some earth-shattering document. No Rather-Gate here.
If you want to believe this is not real, go ahead. It does not change a single thing.
