so I read music, BUT this does not look like music to me… looks like IBM paper tape.

>You can tell by looking at a paper tape what the coding is.

>An EIA RS244 coded tape always has an odd number of holes across the tape (each character has either 1, 3, 5, or 7 holes across. Channel 8 is only used for the EOB code, which always just has one hole in channel 8

>ASCII No parity tapes can have even or odd numbers of holes across, but channel 8 is never punched.

>ASCII Even parity tapes always have even numbers of holes across, and all 8 channels are used.

>ASCII Odd parity (rarely used) always has odd numbers of holes across, and all 8 channels are used.

>A binary "Exec" tape can have any combination of holes (across the tape). All 8 channels are used for data, and some characters have even numbers of holes across and some characters have odd numbers of holes.

BUT before I spend a whole bunch of time translating it to English, i want to know where it comes from "the graphic" tells me nothing

PS awesome thread yea! real autists.

SO, upon further investigation, I have to demand your source for this as well.

>>296957

well that make you a sliding shill, both are PNGs with mapped color and this entire thread is bullshit.

>>296977

I'm definitely rude, and I just finished checking your work, using both the images I downloaded at the time, and just now…. utter bullshit.

>>297013

absolutely, call me any name you'd like. you are correct, I don't use ANY proprietary software, checked using GIMP and SHOTWELL.

>>297056

LOL, there you go, you are analyzing artifacts that YOU CREATED in YOUR CONVERSION.

>>297116

dumb mistakes and shilling smell exactly the same.

>>297116

the only difference is intent.

>>297192

I didn't want to be negative… notice I started out with this is an awesome thread, and trying to be helpful?

when you are doing a forensic analysis on a digital image … rule 1: don't convert before you start.

>>297307

I didn't say don't do it eventually, I said don't do it first.

Your image at the top of this thread is severely modified from the original 4 times as many pixels, different color space etc. … the original(assuming you are working from the 4chan image) has 50530 pixels… any more than that you have created. same with color there are 55 shades of red white and blue, again any more you created.

>>297443

yeah you can't do that in GIMP either … that's why I used shotwell

>>297482

yes the Union portion of the flag is symmetrical, it's how I would do it 3 rows of 5 with 4 between twice add middle row of 4 done.

worth a try, I don't do windows

>>297564

agreed, it was clearly done by layering the meme on top of the jpg with very limited transparency.

>>297678

well, I don't want to dismiss this out right after our conversation, the first step I'm going to try is changing the color map… as I play more I see a couple hints of your first image in the shading of the stars, without using such drastic methods.

this is the 4chan flag

OK, so here is some of the shades of blue changed to wild colors, this is the original image viewed at 800$ so we can see individual pixels, no editing other than to the colormap.

which makes me think the artifacts come from the shrinking, judging by the artifacts themselves, it looks to me like it was resized more than once before Q uploaded my guess is that Q got it by screen-shotting on a webpage(which was where the first resize happened (native to HTML/CSS)) and then resized it again, which makes me think that the 310 x 163 might be important

if someone did this purposefully, they spent a couple hundred hours planning and doing it. whereas accidentally algorithmically seconds.

>>297482

an attempt to explain this:

the act of displaying an image on a screen is an exercise in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointillism

so in screen-shotting imagine laying a piece of window screen over a picture so that 2.5 pixels appear in each direction in 1 cell of the window screen, your job is to write down 1 averaged color value for each cell in the window screen.

that's how you get artifacts like this

this is interesting + bump for shillstorm
