Opinions please.

I came across a pic of HCL-era Hugh & Callum that is very similar to one we've all seen before.

Help me out here, is it the same pic reversed and rotated? Or is it slightly different? I can't decide. It may just be that the newer pic is brighter.

I just spent WAY too long studying it. It's hard to tell, but I DO think they're different!

hueradys and lamentables have proved they're the same using photo shop.

You can see more detail in the second one because it's brighter.

I said yes first then changed it to no. It seems like you can Callum's eyes better in the second. I'm thinking it was taken either at the same time with a different camera or it was the next/previous shot. Either way, it's definitely reversed. I should have picked 'maybe', but I'm sticking with no.

I think it's the difference in brightness makes them look different.

[primroseburrows]

I think you're right. It was just the eyes that were bugging me, because the positions are the same.

I tried it in Photoshop. The scale on the 2nd one is slightly skewed from the first, but if you adjust for that, they line up precisely after flipping & rotating. See? This is the WFP shot at 36% opacity dropped over the first one and adjusted for scale.

You're more patient than I am; I got it close enough to convince myself and stopped :-)

[heuradys]

Hee! I was going to futz around with the levels too, but I'm not that patient.

Conclusive proof. *g*

I thought it might have been the brightness that made it look different. You can see more of CKR's smile in the reversed one.

I'm glad people on my flist a PhotoShop proficient.

I heart your version because it feels like a drunk test... Instead of touching their own noses, they're touching the viewer's.

I think they are the same, but all I know is, I'm kind of O_O because CALLUM YOUR COLLAR IS REALLY HOT, OKAY.
