Alien Anomalies

Shapening method in Photohop:

First of all paste the picture or open it in photoshop

2- Make copy layer

3 Set the copy layer to blend mode over lay

4 in The filters "other option" select highpass

5 Slide it to sharpen image

6 Merge Image

Repeat the same procedure but this time use paint daubs on the copy layer for resharpening.

7 .. Merge layers

8 - You can highlight countours -> filter->brushstrokes accented edges

9 .. If still some areas need enhancing use the burn dodge tools to reveal the depth needed. Also play with luminosity etc the options are infinite

Also something not everybody knows. The jpeg artifact can be removed (yes it can) go to reduce noice and check remove jpeg artifact box.



As you'll realize there are plenty of other options. Trust your eyes, and follow what they mandate ...

Hint #2. The shadow enhancing technique won't work for any situation. Essentially when the picture is already to "shadowy" or a different obfuscation method has been applied, there are several other techniques that might come in handy.

The second obfuscation method. The second obfuscation method I will talk you about is very simple. It consist o a little blurring plus inversing the image.

This one is very easy to clarify.

Workshop #2 ;

Go to this address: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/images/2010/details/cut/ESP_016459_1830_cut.jpg. The image you will see was just taken this year by the MRO on Mars, on the Arabia Region on Mars

Use your image editing software and inverse the image. Add contrasts and sharpen to your taste.

You will see the most precious untampered image from Mars you could arrive at by other more intrusive methods.

Here is the vid displaying the image you should be able to arrive at in a couple of minutes

You should arrive at the image I show in this video.

Moderator could you please erase this thread altogether? I realized after posting it, I was wrong and in fact this technique is faulty, so I would not want to mislead future visitors into thinking something might be wrong with phtographs of Mars or The moon. They are simply alien looking.

There's nothing wrong with the techniques you describe as long as you remember that these are used to enhance the image, bringing out various details in some cases, but what makes you think that you are actually deobfuscating? You photoshop an image and call that deobfuscation? I'd rather call it manipulation  

This is another video on how to deobfuscate images from mars, though very clumsy with a little more dedication you will get better results.

Please notice how structures invisible to your eyes before, start appearing as if by art of magic .... Remember when starting using the "burn tool" setting it's range to shadows and it's intensity to no more than 10% otherwise you will spoil the image.
