I would not trust any JPEG photo to show fine details, simply because it is a "lossy" format. When a JPEG file is compressed, info is lost that cannot be recovered. Everytime the image is opened and saved, more info is lost. The higher the compression, the greater the loss. And high contrast edges often acquire halos or other artifacts during compression. It might be these artifacts you are seeing, rather than deliberate tampering. TIFF, TIFF, hooray! Chuck Holst -----Original Message----- From: Peter Staehling [SMTP:staehpj1_at_yahoo.com] If it was doctored, shame on the person who did it. My eye was instantly drawn to that spot, perhaps because of the surviver there or perhaps because of a bad doctering job. When I look at the blown up image I would say it is suspicious, but I can't conclusively say it was doctored. It just may be that the surviver is just a more diffuse reflector than the highlights on the water. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
