Very pretty...but I don't know what it means. --4Macie 20:32, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
I think it suggests that parts of it, like the ChristianWChandler username, are photoshopped, but that's just what it looks like after looking another shopped picture on that site. But I don't know for sure. CompyRex 20:37, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
"If the results from the ELA tool show an image which is all bright, it does not indicate that a photo has been manipulated (quite the opposite actually). What does indicate manipulation, is different levels of brightness throughout the image. If certain sections of the image have noticeably different levels of brightness, it is a strong indicator for further investigation." CompyRex 20:37, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
That tool is only applicable to JPEG images that are resaved over and over, using deterioration from lossy compression. This image is a PNG with mostly text, with lossless compression. The algorithm doesn't apply to it. - LucidFox 21:38, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
To me this looks genuine. However, one thing that I did see that could indicate a forgery was the period following his name at the bottom. Anyone whose taken a kindergarten level English writing class knows you do not use punctuation behind a name in this manner; unless denoting a rank or abbreviation. Obviously, no such titles accompany Chris' name. Perhaps its a forgery, perhaps not. --IwegalBadnik 21:54, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
Um, it's Chris. Spelling and punctuation mistakes are par the course. - LucidFox 22:08, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
True, it is Chris. I suppose its just another one of his fuck ups. --IwegalBadnik 22:24, 13 August 2011 (PDT)
  • If this is going to start being a huge debate about legitimacy, I can ask the person I know who I got this from to let someone we all trust to be True and Honest into her youtube account to see it. Or I could try and save it a different way...I don't know how to do all this crappy technology stuff...I had to freaking google how to get a screenshot saved on a mac (which I use). You guys don't have to believe me but I really don't know how to use photoshop...I've never had to use it before, I actually don't know what a windows is (which would make Chris scoff at me), I don't even know how to get on that #sonichu form talk thing even though it looks like it practically walks you through the instructions. If there is another way to get that screenshot into whatever this thing needs I'll try to do it. (OH! I can tell you how I did it..maybe that'll help. I hit command, shift, 4 and then it gave me a cursor thing and then I selected what I wanted and it saved to my desktop) --4Macie 04:58, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
    • Try Pinta. It's a fairly lightweight image editor, and it can take screenshots. - LucidFox 05:28, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
    • If I just resaved it (save as) as a JPEG...would that work the same? --4Macie 05:36, 14 August 2011 (PDT)
