These are fakes
Posted By: xbill <email4xbill@yahoo.com>Date: 5/30/02 12:07 a.m.

In Response To: It's official! There are 2 Guilty Sparks!!! (StarWarsFanMan)

If you could make a movie of this, you'd have more believable proof.

In my opinion, these are all fakes.

#1: Looks like a lighting effect, maybe a dodge, in PhotoShop, or PaintShop Pro.
Nothing much shows up there when you run a trace contour filter on this image.
Also, more obvious, is the fact that the lighting effect overlaps the teleportation field around the Master Chief. How can this be if the "2nd 343" is in the background ?

: #2:
: I put a circle around this one because it's difficult to see.

Not sure what this is. Could be a copy->resize->rotate->paste.
The huge red circle could obscure the pasted edges.

What about the little red and white blob near the bottom of the image?

: #3:
This has to be another lighting effect or a reflection.
Notice the faint red moire pattern (parallel lines) that is common when taking a picture of a tv tube? Look at the "2nd 343." The faint red lines near the "2nd 343" get lighter and appear to be behind the bright spot. The red lines look fairly uniform around the real 343 and appear over the image as they should. This is a reflection, or has been added to the image.

: #4:
: Don't tell me that's from a camera flash (I don't use a flash camera anyways,
: and I turned all of the lights off). This one proves it!

Why are there faint white vertical lines above the "2nd 343" ? There are no trees visible in the other pictures. It looks like a pasted copy of the original 343 with some touch up and masking to make the lighting look like it comes from behind the structure.

: #5
: This is the first ever proof I had.
Same analysis as #3. This is a reflection, or has been added to the image.

I'd say you've been busy with PhotoShop, or PaintShop Pro.
