But if it is a forgery, the forger or the ones who had it made, could likely be tracked down, much more easily than finding out who forged the COLB. They had to have some contact, even if through cut-outs, with Orly or "her people". I really hope she has the document itself, and not just an image of something, which would put her, and any document examiner she would employ, one giant leap ahead of anyone on the COLB "problem".
I’ll make a few comments and that will be the last thing I will write on this subject.
First, I want to respond to BIGLOOK who shares my concern about having the physical document thoroughly examined.
BIGLOOK:
About that Photoshop elements claim: you cannot pull apart a JPG image into layers because it is a flattened image. The only thing that you can split off are the individual color channels (Red, Green, Blue). However, separating them into individual RGB channels will not reveal anything as the printed form and text are monochromatic.
El Gato:
I’ll answer you in the form of a question:
If you found a photo of a long-form Hawaiian birth certificate, produced on June 25, 1959, certified by the State of Hawaii with a raised Seal and Registrar’s signarture, hospital name, doctor’s name and signature, and so on, what analyses would you do to determine if its a forgery?
Answer: None.
Hawaii was not officially a state until August 21, 1959.
One little thing like a date can sink a document.
OK, folk, gotta run but I’ll be back sometime next week.
