There's one more thing I want to show you that demonstrates Obama's new BC is a composite of at least 2 different scanned images.

I took it upon myself to do a little test. I entered the line, "Barack Obama's LFBC is a fraud!" in my word processor.

I then printed that short line of text out on a color ink jet printer using only black ink, so as to remove any color artifacts from printing.

Here is how that image looks after scanning it as a 24 bit color TIF file converted to PNG format (for upload) at 300 dpi:

Photobucket

Now, here is that same sheet of paper scanned as a 1 bit black & white TIF file converted to PNG for upload:

Photobucket

As you can see, with no other alterations made on these two scans except their conversion to PNG format, there's a huge difference in the quality between the 24 bit file (top) and the 1 bit file (bottom).

The edges of the letters in the 24 bit file have much smoother edges owing to the fact that each pixel in the image has 8 bits of color data (even from a black and white document). That provides the image processor with 256 shades of gray per RGB channel with which to work, providing smoother gradations between the blackest text and the whitest background.

The 1 bit black & white TIF file has only 1 bit of data per pixel: a pixel is either all white or all black. There is no gray scale to create the smooth edges that the 24 bit file has.

Next, I brought these raw TIF scans into PhotoShop and, using the Magic Wand tool, selected the white background of each then enlarged them for the purpose of getting a screen capture of the area on each I wanted to highlight. (I had to promote the B&W image to gray scale to get the Magic Wand to work, which accounts for the solid gray fringe on the lower images letters.)

Here are those PNG images after retouching and enlarging (24 bit image first):

Compare those to this image enlarged and grabbed from Obama's new BC:

The green background layer is the result of a 24 bit color scan (look at the number 1 far right), while the overlaid text is the result of a 1 bit black and white scan with the white background removed for transposition over the color background layer.

There's no question that this document consists of at least two separately scanned images composited together.

To what end, I have no idea.

I have posted some of your work on the local (LIBERAL) blog run by my local rag.

I think this stuff, on the tech side, hurts Obama in part because “techies” are part of his natural coalition.

Techies thought Obama was “smart” and Obama doesn't really know beans, and does not know how to hire anyone who can pull off a techie job like this?

I think the TECHNOLOGY GAP, shown by those in the White House is part of what we can use against them!

My guess is that they had access to a BC in the 1064X series.

But not 10641.

But needed it to be 10641, because that it probably the BC of the infant girl that died. (Or some other “Safe” Certificate. A foreigner, with no family, etc.)

All other BCs could POSSIBLY be accounted for by the public. That was a risk that they could not take.

So when they chose 10641 in 2007 I do not think they did so RANDOMLY. I think they did so because they had HELP from the inside, to tell them WHICH Cert number to use.
