A Modified Moon Image


Russian bloggers has downloaded one of the pictures of the Moon landing from the official NASA website and enhanced it with the means of modern photo imaging software. They have found something that could point on the editing of the image by the primitive methods that were widely used at that time (30 years ago) in many magazines etc.


Anyone doing print layout work got very good at using a razor blade to quite literally slice a desired image out of its background in the source photograph. You physically remove the piece you want, and throw away the rest of the print. These areas marked with arrows point to evidences of such methods were used.

At that times it was hard to imagine that 30 years later any schoolboy can make a highly sophisticated precise digital image expertise and find out such rough editing traces.

An original NASA image is still available for anyone to download and repeat their enhancement from the NASA website at: http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/MEDIUM/GPN-2000-001131.jpg
