I was working on that. That has bothered me since the download. I posted earlier the two words at the bottom of the seal and I don't remember what they were. I agree. The one thing I am working on is from the original premises of my post. The Australian national requirements from the period did not specify the "mother’s maiden surname" On the "Bomford" image it is shown. On my original post we did a "Divide Scanned Photos", prior to looking at the individual sections of the document. Divide scanned photos is defined in Photoshop Elements as:
If you scanned several pictures at once on a flatbed scanner, you can automatically divide and straighten the scanned image into its component photos. The photos must have a clear separation between them.
I caught a great deal of flack from that and agreed that we are not professionals and were wrong to use it. After doing some more thinking I remembered that this was a scanned documents and the sections that separated were odd for a single element to have produced. My daughter went through numerous pictures both edited and unedited. Only the edited JPGs behaved the same way.
Trueamericas post 218 on Thread Kenyan document ignites firestorm over authenticity (Let's Discuss Bomford HERE) found the document had been scanned with a Lead Technologies scanner as evidenced in the first line of the document file.
My thoughts immediately went back to this image from the document line with "Mother's former married surname". Plummz commented on this on thread Sample birth certificates from Australia, and other Commonwealth nations. Replying to a table at post 25 from Raycpa at post 28:
According to that chart, the Bomford cert should NOT have his mother’s maiden surname on it...
but it does.
The section he is referring to I have inverted, cropped and marked up as follows:
The original Layer 4 from Divide Scanned Photos is as follows:
My conclusions are as follows:
1. Divide Scanned Photos did bring out an anomali from JPG files that have been altered.
2. The Layer 4 image was added to the document or altered for some reason.
3. The Layer 4 does not appear monospaced, nor is the text the same size.
4. Pixelation is different from the remainder of the text in the field.
5. Text alignment is different across the field
Freeper comments are welome.
