The first pic in the article is the original resized, all other ones after that are the punked versions.
I disagree that the first pic is the original resized. Resizing can explain the much larger file size, but an enlarged photo has LESS resolution not more, and Photo 1 has much higher resolution and much greater detail. You can’t make that stuff up out of a lower resolution photo (can you?).
*The seal is much crisper in Photo 1.
*There is pixelation at 100% around the text in the Orly/Pacer Photo, but no pixelation (or dithering or whatever its called) around the text in Photo 1.
*The text itself is much crisper in Photo 1: you can see the indents made by the typewriter.
*The color is deeper (or richer) on Photo 1 (though I don’t know if that is relevant).
On the rust spots, I agree that that Photos 2&4 are photos of different documents that Photo 1/Orly’s Photo. On Photos 2&4, the stain spot is different and you can see the typo. Thing is, the stain on Photo 1 and Orly’s photo covers the typo exactly. That’s all just coincidence?
The Punked document is a bad forgery.
