>> A two dimensional painting
> Really? Try to do this with any other “painting”.
Several software vendors offer products that turn a 2D flat image into a 3D computer model or 3D printing.
In any event, the original image on the Turin shroud or on a canvas or on a photographic print was not made by pressing the shroud/canvas/paper against the head/face, but from the perspective of an artist/photographer from a distance.
I understand that they’ve done it with paintings and, somehow, it does not come out just like the shroud. As for the “pressing” the shroud, the evidence seems to suggest that it was kind of loose, maybe waiting for proper anointing of the body? The best explanation is that the shroud was just laid over the body, no pressing, no wrapping like we read Lazarus was wrapped...
No, they cannot do what the Shroud does by mere conversion of intensity of light. Sorry. You are wrong. You are grasping at straws.

There you go again with you assumption of a Shroud being pressed against the body/face. Anyone who has studied the science and scholarship of the Shroud knows that was not the case. You keep repeating that mantra. The image on the cloth is so diffuse it cannot be seen close up... One has to be farther than fifteen feet away to discern it. No artist standing close enough to "paint" it could do so. . . especially to paint in the totally unknown concept of negativity . . . and perfect three dimensional perspective. By hand. Right. Sure. An art style never seen before or since and impossible to be duplicated even today.
First is that it is merely the *appearance* of depth, with the aspect ratio of the 3-D detail to the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the image highly dependent on the settings used in the software; and the other issue is that nobody had software back when the Shroud was created -- nor when it is falsely accused of having been forged, either.
