If I had been smarter I'd've saved locally the first version you posted of the latest pic. Which I would have then blown up with the two tell-tale spots clearly indicated.
I would have also then taken the latest and blown that up with the same two spots now without the tell-tale signs still clearly indicated... Indicating primarily the now lack of what had previously been present.
I wouldn't then even HAVE to try to explain the nitty-gritty of why I can STILL tell it's been edited. But I'm not going to anyways, because I REALLY don't think I could manage in a way that wouldn't make everyone else's eyes glaze over except if we have another trained photo-editor on the boards.
Clearly, however, OSB HAS had at least some training and practice in photo editing. And that was a VERY quick fix for how well applied it was. I had very little to go on with earlier pics, just a general feeling that something just wasn't QUITE right in those pics. And this latest version of this latest one I'd've had a tough time with too had I not already seen what I'd already saw and therefore knew EXACTLY where to concentrate my eyes.
OSB is a VERY skilled troll... But a troll nonetheless. And at some point WILL slip again. And next time I'll be ready.
