I theorized that the fuzzy outline found in between the letters of the data fields on the Kos image is a dead giveaway that these letters were made by a graphics program.

So? What does this alone prove? Do you know that the State of Hawaii does not use graphics programs in generating copies of birth certificates? If so I would include that in your thesis. Cheers

We have other samples to verify against. He used Decostas.

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.

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) ...
