How Did Bart Kamp Create The Lovelady Image?
Dan O'meara:
Royell steered me to a Couch clip which is the best quality I've come across:
I cropped and blew up the two men:
There is a hint of something on the shirt in this image that may be a pattern but I wouldn't have an idea how to get it to stand out.
Maybe someone who knows what they're doing can have a go.
Dan O'meara:
I've tried as much as I can, blindly messing about with sharpening, contrast, etc., to bring out the pattern in the shirt but to no avail:
The more I look at it, the more mystified I am by the Sprague picture that Kamp used to create his 'Lovelady' image.
Compared to the image I cropped from the incredibly high quality Crouch footage that Royell steered me too, the Sprague image is totally inferior.
Yet, out of nowhere, there is this unbelievable amount of detail in the Sprague image - but only in Lovelady's shirt!
This level of detail is not to be seen anywhere in the larger image.
What am I missing?
Lance Payette:
Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep ...
CTers are so entertaining when they go completely off the deep end. If Michael would weigh in on this issue, my life would be complete. It almost makes me sorry to be trapped in this prison of rational thought.
The checkered pattern is also obvious on the PBS image, which Bart and his minions presumably didn't fake with the Photoshop Checkered Shirt program. To nail down the provenance of the questioned images once and for all, Bart himself explained that they are from an "R*KC scan of a Couch print" from the Richard E. Sprague Collection at the National Archives. Bart first posted them nearly ten years ago.
Bart, who does have a way with words, observed:
"I am going to put an end to this debate whether Lovelady and Shelly stayed on the steps ,,, to which certain people subscribe to for some obscure reason, there is just plenty to refute this rubbish assertion.
"Obscure," indeed, which is presumably why so many people, including me, are unable to fathom the point of Dan's endless thread on the "ramifications" of all this.
Next step in the evolution: There were two identical shirts, one on HARVEY and one on LEE. At least that I can understand.

No bald spot, no checkered pattern.

Dear danny BOY o'meara,
Are you denying that real-deal Lovelady had a bald spot and was wearing a "checkered" / "plaid" shirt that day?

You put the possible shirt pattern aside, that shirt does drape the upper body on that photo just as it does with Lovelady. And those are Lovelady's slouching shoulders too. Just think of how we see Lovelady when he is sitting down inside Police HQ and Oswald is led past him. ALL of this points right at Lovelady. There is nothing visually ruling him out. Nothing.
