You mean the link to another post on another thread? Or the “pwned” comment?
We have been “pwned”. Badly.
I’m pretty sure the file I have saved is the original one, but I can’t be totally certain.
I routinely use Photoshop Elements to clean up photos from my camera, to adjust lighting, color, to do cropping, or any number of innocent things that don’t involve the intent to deceive.
The Kenyan image was obviously a photograph of a piece of paper. The image properties tell me it’s 72 dpi resolution, a normal thing to see from a digital camera.
The Australian image appears to be a scan of a piece of paper. The image properties tell me it’s 150 dpi resolution, a normal scanner setting.
Of course, neither image tells me anything conclusively what was involved in creating the pieces of paper that were either photographed or scanned.
But to take an image and draw conclusions about it based on what a piece of software does to it, when the person making those conclusions is ignorant of what the software is actually supposed to be doing is just crazy.
oops
