Someone figured it out too soon so they had to tell the press.

The woman in the photo is Barb Solish. She is a Marketing Communications Director who was Comms Director and Deputy Manager for Sisolak's campaign in Nevada, and an advisor to over a dozen congressional candidates at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

When the Marketing Director for the Dems does something this stupid, they must be pretty desperate.

Oh, one more fun fact - she's also Marketing Director for the National Alliance for Mental Illness.

I wonder who signed the marriage certificate and if they find it's a forgery, they aren't actually married and living in sin.

I think they released it now to make it an election issue. All attention is off of Pedo Joe now. A parade of gang rape victims and shit throwing clowns were probably lined up months ago and ready for whomever we nominate.

They are desperate.

Biden said Trump didn’t release his list until after RGB died. Since Trump released his list last week, Biden would be correct and so would you ;)

She's been MIA for months delivering her rulings and opinions via underlings.

Her absence would have been business as usual.

People act like Trump appointing our next supreme court is going to somehow undo over 200 years of bad rulings and fix our broken constitution. At best we will only buy ourselves another 23 years before America croaks. We need a constitutional convention and Trump can't do that on its own.

https://fotoforensics.com/tutorial.php?tt=ela

tl;dr Error Level Analysis (ELA) permits identifying areas within an image that are at different compression levels. With JPEG images, the entire picture should be at roughly the same level. If a section of the image is at a significantly different error level, then it likely indicates a digital modification.

I dont know anything about photoshop or image compression, it sounds like you do, so to play devils advocate I'll ask this. Is it possible that it comes up that way because she's the only thing in focus and everything else is blurry?

31
TheCandiru 31 points ago +31 / -0

That's a good question. The short answer is no, it's not necessarily about blurriness. It's about comparing the image compression (or number of pixels) in the images.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact

I'm going to make up numbers to explain it, but using the picture OP linked, the image qualities of the pictures smashed together are different. Say the picture of RBG was originally 300x300 pixels per inch (ppi), and the couple in the foreground is 600x600 ppi.

Because the qualities are different, the forensics app can fairly reasonably confirm the image is a composite and thus a fake.

This is what I get, why is that?

Never mind, I got it. You have to use the image from twitter. The closer to the original the better.

Anon_0xFFFF -1 points ago +1 / -2

No. focus has nothing to do with it. If you've ever seen a horribly compressed jpeg image, all blotchy and square like, imagine placing a well compressed picture of a face on top. That could be saved as a single image. Now, that is an extreme example, visible to the human eye. Of course computers can 'see' much better than we can, along with some pretty amazing algorithms, 'faking' a real picture is as close to impossible as you can get, and there are a number of ways to detect them.

Some apps can give clues as to whether a photo has been edited.

I downloaded the original photo from this post (about people blaming the bride) https://www.dailydot.com/debug/rbg-officiates-wedding-bride-blamed-death/

and then pushed it through this site (the link includes the uploaded image) http://fotoforensics.com/analysis.php?id=0c6820cc9e49c9aa73817317abf144cd00f7787a.66255

And it seems like there's something there all right. I'm not an expert by any means, but...

You did forensics on the screenshot lmao. Save the picture and then do it

2
covfefe2525 2 points ago +2 / -0

That’s what I did.

The pic I got was from an article about how people were blaming the bride for RBG’s death, and there was no mention in the article of it being photoshopped. It was just the plain pic, and didn’t have the analysis underneath.

The brides Twitter account is now protected, so we can’t get the original photo from there.

My dad had pancreatic cancer and the last two months he could barely walk. Bald. Skinnier than anyone I've ever seen. Had to wear diapers, had absolutely no energy.

The last weeks off chemo he felt a little better but the cancer had already ravaged him. I don't believe this is how she looks in her last months at all.

13
redditcansuckme 13 points ago +13 / -0

I'm sorry you had to go through seeing your father like that.

Using him as a reference, do you believe she sat up the night before her death and made her statement about being replaced by a different president?

I wanna call bullshit, because when my two grandfathers and an uncle died of cancer they were barely lucid for weeks beforehand, and catatonic for the days before they actually died.

Just want your two cents on that.

Sounds very similar to my uncle's death. He had melanoma which culminated in cancers all over his body, including several dozen sand-grain sized tumors in his brain. He went through a very confused phase where he'd try to organise big parties for he and his friends, buying limos, booking venues, etc. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff, then get angry when we had to cancel it because he was in hospice completely unable to walk. It was sad to see.

In his final days he was comatose but could still hear. We know because people would go and have discussions in the room and every now and then he'd react or say something relevant.

In his last moment he sat up and looked directly at my grandmother and she told him he could go. He smiled, lay down, closed his eyes and died. It was beautiful and horrible at the same time.

No point here, I got rambly a bit. Just reminiscing. Cancer's a bitch but we have to die of something I suppose.

Yes he was able to still talk several hours before he died. However, he was on a morphine drip and didn't make a whole lot of sense most of the time, but he still did make several coherent sentences.

So it's quite possible she said that. But given her likely medicated state there is room for doubt. If her message was so critical why didn't she tell someone more believable instead of some random family member? Why only tell one person?

unclebobinator 2 points ago +2 / -0

Thanks for the kind words pede. And yeah it's a brutal cancer that takes no prisoners.

I'd say she was bedridden for at least her last month(s). My father was better off the chemo, less pain and lethargy from the aggressive treatments, but at that point death is right around the corner.

If you can get RBG to officiate your wedding, you have a videographer and at least one photographer, there should be tons of proof. Fuck they would be jerking themselves off about how RBG was there, as well as all the people invited. Fucking nothing. What a crock of shit. And we are supposed to believe this? L-O-FUCKING-L.

IMO she looks different because that was a shitty lighting setup, and skin tone would look different due to lighting and possibly white balance.

I saw her irl in 2019 during a convention in Georgetown Law.

No cameras but I can say it wasn't an RBG-bot. After that, no clue how long she's been in hospice.

generated_name 11 points ago +11 / -0

Is there a pic of RBG, that matches her in this, that we can say she was taken from?

Couldn't this just be proof that the photo was edited, to make RBG stand out more or adjust contrast or exposure on her maybe, instead of her being 'shopped in? To me that would be the simpler explanation.

independentbystander 8 points ago +8 / -0

LOL!!! That is a terrible shoop.

>I should know, from the pixels and from having seen quite a few shoops in my time

Really though: that is a terrible shoop. I was "shooping" before Photoshop was released ("Fauve Matisse" came out first, and it was a while before Photoshop was ported for Windows.) Ones' failure or success at creating a believable image depends on several factors, but high on the list is patience/attention to detail, and maybe more importantly: color-correction of copy/pasted elements added to an existing image.

We often see intentionally funny poo-postings here that are made even more funny by the artist's lack of color-correction/edge-blending of copy/pasted elements. In this particular case, the lighting on the Ginsburg element is way off in brightness/contrast (especially considering the lighting on the podium, and the less-lit background.) A little more detective-work would turn up the source image Ginsburg was copied from, unless it's a private image not posted online. (Even cropping the RBG closely did not turn up any matches for me yet, just more hits for this questionable shoop.)

By way of comparison this shoop is much more realistic-looking than the OP picture, even though the color-correction is deliberately manipulated for humorous effect.
