I am talking about the first image above, the one with the fake iss on a back drop of the sun. It is a pretty good job, but the iss has pixels about 10 percent larger. Close but no cigar. I check all the images in this post and all are compromised.
I am not saying who made the original, just that the images in this post are altered images. Give me the link to the original and I will check it out.
Nope. They are still the same size.
You can not just just look at them on a poor monitor, you have to measure the pixels.
Perhaps you missed my previous post where I took a 12 pixel by 12 pixel area of the ISS and put it right next to the same amount of pixels from a completely different part of the pic at the same scale? if there was a 10% difference as you claim it should be readily apparent in that image.
Surely you can post an image showing where the pixels don't match up with those around them since if they were in fact 10% larger as you say then they should very quickly not match up with the surrounding image.
The red line was put on the margin of 2 pixels on the clean left of the image and than moved horizontally to the iss area, about 10% pixel mismatch.
How did you manage to get the fuzzy boundaries between the pixels? Pixels are discrete values and have a sharply-defined, discrete size. When an image is overzoomed by multiples of 100% the boundaries between the pixels remain sharp. Did you perhaps capture an image of the overzoomed display, load that into your editing software, and then
resize it instead of zooming further?
Here's what a small portion of
this picture (from
this post) looks like when zoomed in to 1200% in PhotoShop Elements 10, a screenshot taken, then the resulting image re-loaded into PSE and zoomed in by another 800%, then a screenshot is taken, saved as an image, and posted here.
Note the nice sharp edges on all the pixels. They're all obviously the same size, too.
Here's what that 1200% screen capture looks like when it is
resized by 800% instead of
zoomed to 800%.
This results in fuzzy pixel edges. This looks similar to what you were showing. Note that, because of the fuzzy edges, the darker pixels appear larger than the brighter ones, but they are actually the same size.
You can get a similar effect if you run a blur filter on the 1200% screenshot and then zoom in. Is that what you did?
Can you list the image you started with, the software you used used, and the exact steps you took that resulted in your image with fuzzy-edged pixels?
This also looks like the same scene as your image (see above), but, FYI, that's the shuttle, not the ISS, from the original picture. If you're going to act like you're an expert on this stuff, it would be more convincing if you have the details about what you're showing us right.
