Just do a simple equalize adjustment and youll easily see what time talkin about haha :lol:

Maybe I'm not seeing it but I don't see anything added or removed...

look at the empty space behind the flag and the LM... you dont see the tale tale signs of the clone tool?

[FlyingPhotog]

Nope. When I look at the High Res version, I see a lot of noise though..

[bobbinika]

take that high res image and do an equalize adjustment to it

[aebrown]

i don't get it... :/

[neilwood32]

Me neither.

[bobbinika]

eh just showing an a horrible image edit that somebody at nasa did.. cloned out the whole sky and did a really bad job at doing it

One way to tell if a photo was photoshoped it to equalize a duplicate layer, and compare it to the original.

I think the OP is showing that: Someone from NASA used the very top of the space(mostly right side) to clone the middle 2/3rds of the picture.. hence all the choppy remnants of the clone tool.

So i was supposed to do the equalizer thing on the original in the link? or the image you posted?

sorry for my ignorance...

[Drozz119]

The image posted was the equalized version of the original(link)

[Todd Lambert]

HA, that IS funny.

I guess they didn't want any stars or anything being visible or something. Although, I thought because of some scientific reason, stars were not visible from the surface of the moon anyways?

The question is... WHAT was cloned out???

[Todd Lambert]

Existence of alien life. :rolleyes:

[Wazza]

Yeah can see those details with the naked eye.

Also if you look at the black crosshairs, and work out where they would be in the darkness on the film, there's no marks whatsoever. Definitely appears that they've removed sky detail to keep in uniform. Either aesthetics... Or as Todd mentions - some alien beings!

Manipulation of images for presentation on the web today is routine.

The original was on film, and when it was shot (1972 I think - looks like Apollo 17 at Taurus Littrow), there were no digital cloning tools.

Even if there had been anything present in the frame that could not be released, it would not have reached the light of day in any form, ever.

I GET IT NOW!!! :) lol

I totally thought that the image you posted was the one that needed to equalizing, and that maybe it was one of those puzzles where you cross your eyes and an image or writing appears...except they did it with pp.

yay for me!

That's funny stuff. I guess they think that people won't notice it. Think again.

You can see the stars from the moon IF it's nighttime on the moon.

Daytime is like here, although no atmosphere to make the sky appear blue.

The sun would overpower any other light source during the day, just like on Earth. One simply cannot see the stars in the daytime on earth, the moon, and probably Mars too.

Personally I'm a conspiracy theory fan. I don't take conspiracy theories too seriously, but definitely entertain them.
I'm not 100% convince we ever set foot on the moon. I don't deny we did, but simply don't feel totally convinced it really happened.

A green screen.....we've never really been on the moon. The pict was taken @ central park at night, and they needed to clone out a one-man-band street performer to add to the realism.

But what about the conspiracy that the "one-man" band was using a pre-recorded CD in a boombox hehind him?
