The image I posted was never intended to be the subject of forensic examination. It has had too many graphical modification steps for that to be of any value. I captured it from the original Flash file linked by Orly's webpage at one specific resolution that filled the frame allowed, saved it as a PNG file on my Mac, then uploaded it to my file sharing site "ImageCave.com" which converted the PNG file to a 70% compressed JPEG for quick loading and display on the internet.
Here is that copy of the original I posted:
On this JPEG, the "E" does indeed appear to be a "K"... but I assure you that is an artifact of the process used to convert the huge PNG image file to a much smaller JPEG image file. Those conversions done to make the image more palatable for uploading and downloading for internet use are apparently the source of the blurring of the E to a K (or as some people claim a G) and the O to a 6. It stands to reason that detail will be lost when you go from an 879,641 byte PNG file to an 87,414 byte JPEG file. I don't think anyone is attempting to promulgate fraudulent copies... just copies that have been too manipulated from the original to be probative of anything.
This artifacting will be exaggerated as you magnify the JPEG and look at the simplified anti-aliasing that is created from the more complex anti-aliasing of the much more detailed PNG image.
One should always refer as closely to the original as one can get to be making these claims... and that original on Orly's site link is essentially IDENTICAL to the PNG capture I have on my desktop.
Can you help clear this up??? Let's either shut down the speculation about people creating deliberate bogus copies by TELLING people exactly what has happened? Swordmaker
