The statistical improbability of exact same pixels appearing more than once?

This is an expected result of using certain scanning software settings, which is true of almost everything else on your list.

Google Books does something similar. For example, I took this image from page 12 of a PDF of a scanned copy of Extraordinary Popular Delusions from Google Books.

Notice that the N's are pixel-for-pixel identical copies. This is true of many other letter pairs across the book. These things only seem improbable if you don't understand the software behind it.

geez you present an example of a black and white image to refute a grey-scale forgery with different pixel depth and sizes?

And yes, I kinda do know the software behind it- I was writing image software before JPEG and MPEG came into prominence. We CREATED moving images by transmitting only changed pixels which later became MPEG

Not only is there different pixel sizes but there is also 8-bit vs 32-bit greyscale variations within the different layers- info that is in the layers themselves (not subjective) The layers have to contain this info to tell the software how to render that part of the image.

AND there is data BELOW the removed layers... how would a scanner know what was below a layer?

This would be impossible in a single scan image for purposes of making a simple copy.

And this is not even a good forgery- All they would have had to do is compress the image down to a single layer at the end and ALL of this would go from real image date to speculative and subjective interpretation of visual signs. (somethign that LOOKS like a fake -vs- something that tells you it is a fake within its own layer data info)

Either you are too stupid to know what you are talking about or a willing participant in the coverup.
