re: the RAW files

I'm guessing these still photos are part of a gigapixel panorama shoot.

DSLR is on a tripod with a medium zoom lens, maybe 100mm.

Photog starts taking still images at top left of room. After each still photo he moves the tripod head to the right about 2/3 of a frame (to ensure overlap).

When the photog reaches the far top right of the building in 2/3 steps, he moves the tripod head down about 2/3 of the frame and starts going back to the left side of the building in 2/3 steps.

Think of a typewriter, except that typewriter can type backwards from the right side, too.

At end of process, photog has a seies of still images in the camera in rows and columns.

Photog takes these photos off the camera, most likely in RAW (.cr2) format and puts them in a processing program like Adobe RAW that's used in PS or lightroom.

After he's improved the RAW files, he converts them to another format, say TIF, and has a computer program that stitches them all together into one big image.

The zoom level is pretty high, considering, so each still has a lot of detail.

So, I'm guessing when reviewing the stills before stitching, photog notices some lines on this lady's phone that would be controversial, so he blurs those lines during his editing process.

This means, too me, that the lines must be very controversial if someone felt the need to edit them out. Photog fucked up by not using the clone tool or other method to make the edit less noticeable.

So, that still RAW photo is sitting on a computer or in cloud storage somewhere. The only way to get to see it is to ask the photog/photo editor for ti, under the pretense of why was that particular text blurred?

If this is a photo in a gigapixel panorama, then it's row/column position in the panorama is obvious.

If the photog/owner deleted it, it would show up as a 'hole' in any further attempt to stitch a panorama from that series.

Someone has the RAW. The question to be asked is 'How did you know you had to blur those particular lines?" Let's see the RAW file

>not sure if the civ tech is capable of capturing all the details at that distance

Remember the controversy about how many people were at Trump's inauguration?

Maybe the photos used by the MSM were before or after the crowd had arrived/left?

There were photos from part of a gigapixel panorama that actually showed what time it was from wristwatches on spectators who were standing on the mall.

Same principle here.

If we can read the other lines of text on that phone, we can read the original, unblurred lines, too.

You won't be able to do that, though, unless you have the original photo file that was in the DSLR camera.

No other tech, like zooming in on videos, etc., will have enough resolution, nor will any tech unblur those lines. You have to have the original file.
