starting to get a tad torqued over this whole Obama birth certificate issue and "news organizations" not doing their due diligence.....
first let me say nothing would make me happier than it proved a fake and think its absolutely stupid and disgraceful it took Obama 3 years to release it......
HOWEVER if i see one more "Photoshop Expert" try and show ppl that the dang thing is fake cause of layers in the pdf im gonna come unhinged......
#1 your not looking at layers you are looking at "patches" created by the algorithm in Adobe Illustrator....
#2 these patches have absolutely NOTHING to do with layers used in messing with a photo or anything else in Photoshop......the program does it automatically to EVERY SINGLE pdf you open....the masthead of our paper which was created by hand more than 50 years ago and never built on a computer, just scanned in via a flatbed scanner and turned directly into a PDF....if i open this up in Illustrator the program will automatically create nearly 200 patches under the layers heading.....
#3 a "photoshop expert" is not necessarily an "illustrator expert", while the programs contain alot of similarities they also have alot of differences....if i placed a "photoshop expert" at my desk and opened Adobe Indesign where we build our newspaper pages they would likely be totally lost....
#4 photo manipulation layers are NEVER saved in a PDF file, they are saved in a PSD file....you can not in anyway open up the layers used to create a PDF in Photoshop or in Illustrator.....
now i do see some interesting things that might not fit and support the claims of forgery but i have also seen similar things pop up due to glitches in the software of the flatbed scanners at my shop.....my gut feeling is the BC is genuine, but as i said, shoulda been released 3 years ago, and why were we told this long form didnt exist when it actually did? that is a serious question to ponder.....also given my work i absolutly hate someone who says they have nothing to hide actively hiding stuff they should have no problem releasing, that aint right and mocks our entire system.....i cant stand ANY politician doing so.....
not sure if the "photoshop experts" are just that experts in the one program and not realizing what they are looking at or if they are intentionally misleading ppl but either way its not right.....the video is completely accurate, i quickly and easily duplicated what i saw in the videos with my copy of Illustrator......difference being i knew what in the hell i was looking at....
