I'm sorry... the thread posted by the troll using a BADLY photoshopped image was closed before I had a chance to show just how badly it was photoshopped.

You don't even need to use the clone tool detector or truth dots plug-ins to detect it.

I could see with the naked eye that the highlights and shadows on the right boot were an exact mirror copy of the highlights and shadows on the left boot. So... I magnified it to be doubly sure... and it was exactly the same. But... to be triply sure, I copied the boot from the right leg, flipped it horizontally, rotated it a tad, layered it over the left boot and changed the layer blending mode to difference. If they weren't the same boot, then you would see bright colors all across the front of the dark (difference) boot. the bright color indicates the difference in the two layers. As it is, you only see a little bit of bright color where he did a really bad job of painting "spikes" at the top of the left boot and a little bright color on the foot of the boot due to a slight skewing the troll did that I didn't bother correcting.

Honestly, you really have to have no life to do things like this. Almost as stupid as the morons who have nothing better to do with their lives but make viruses. Fortunately, this doesnt hurt anyone, just makes the guy look like a tard.

No life knowing things are false, or correct? You've just dissed just about every scientist, graphic artist, programmer, math person, business person... etc etc etc. In fact, we need more popel like our friend here to uses a method of reasoning, and science to prove something wrong.

It's not called having no life, it's called drive. Read up on it some day.

Wow, what an unnecessarily negative response!

I think Hammer Dawn was referring to the person who created the picture of the boots in the first place, and tried to make everyone think they were new to the game.

I don't think Hammer was referring to the OP, who was just pointing out how badly the photoshoped image was done.

Just a thought,

So let me get this straight. You created a thread to discredit a troll which none of us took seriously in the first place?

I truly hope this thread is only still open because no Moderators have seen it yet. It adds absolutely nothing to the content of this forum...

WTB thread close?

Thanks for posting this, but with only a few replies you can see where this thread is going already. Maybe those few that did believe those boots were real can move along with life now.

Thank you.
