If one of these documents was scanned at 1200dpi and down sampled to 72dpi and the other was just scanned at 72 dpi how would the letters of the different documents compare?
Welcome to FR, BTW
Thanks for the welcome, but I’m more interested on your take on the scanning resolution question.
BTTT
Good work, FReeper!
:-D
sorry to keep asking questions, but is the gist of what you’re saying is that the lack of green is because the document was forged using an 8-bit graphics program? There are so many words in your argument, makes my head hurt a bit :-)
This document was not a scan, it was a computer generated jpg. But you can certainly do all kinds of things with the overall resolution if you resize it via a graphics program or offer up varying quality of scans. The Decosta document is a relatively poor quality scan, yet look at it in comparison to the Obama forgery.
No, you're not.
You're more interested in being a pest.
While I only know enough about digital imagery to be dangerous, Polinak makes several very valid arguments.
It seems so simple to provide a COLB, and thousands of Americans must do it every day, I don't understand his hesitation in doing the same. You would think he would want to make at least this one “go away”.
How be the FALCONS ?
Huh, pest? no I am interested in the truth, and when someone believes in something wholeheartedly sometimes logic gets sloppy.
I don't know what that means and doesn't answer my question. You sound like an expert in this area but not all of us are so equipped. But always good to summarize in layman's terms so all can understand. I need it dumned down for me. Thanks!
Now we know why those Clinton operatives were caught digging around his passport data .
ML/NJ
I understood “of,” “and,” and “the.”
It’s a graphics image that was altered again to produce the KOS image that gives the tatttle tail signs of alteration. . It’s pretty convincing. Furthermore, Hawaii sends only the paper BC or COLB’s to individuals, and they do not send BC mages via email or any other electronic device. There’s no good reason for anyone to alter a jpg image after it’s been scanned other than to deceive.
Maybe I’ll turn out to have been wrong, but this is getting to be a very, boring “scandal.”
Polarik clearly makes the case here. Some of these guys are not following his reasoning very closely.
Keep up the good work.
I wonder when this will break. Any junior journalist looking to make a name for himself must be mighty tempted right about now.
Do you know that the State of Hawaii does not use graphics programs in generating copies of birth certificates?
********************************************************
I do not work for the state of Hawaii but to assume that they use a graphics program to put text onto preprinted forms is a ridiculous premise ,, you use a text editor... in this case it is probably a CICS or IMS transaction creating a VSAM or DB2 database entry which is then directed to a printer ,, the CICS or IMS transaction program would have the formatting for placement of the datafields (name , place of birth etc. etc. etc) designed in... IMS is the older of the two but may not have been around prior to the early 1970’s ,, version 1.x was still in use in 1981 when I started with it... the original BC was probably encoded on a punched card (2501 or similar device) and printed manually with a typewriter as most computer printers back then fed only continuous greenbar,,, later ,, perhaps in the 1970’s the punched card records were read into an online database (VSAM based) ...
