How Did Bart Kamp Create The Lovelady Image?

[John Corbett]

But that's my point: Bart Kamp and John Armstrong can both be off on what I regard as CT wild goose chases,

Aren't they all?

Once again, you're talking utter nonsense.
The image you posted is NOT a Gerda Dunkel image.
You have been corrected on this issue THREE TIMES now.

According to Kamp - "Terry Martin visits the National Archives in Washington for me and finds a huge Couch film print in Richard E Sprague’s collection."
This is a copy of the Sprague print at the Prayer Man website:



Look at this image.
Look at how unbelievably poor it is.
It's washed out and lacks all fine detail - except for Lovelady's shirt!
In contrast, look at this far superior Couch image from "4 Days in November":



Compare it to the Sprague image.
Look at how more superior this image is. Look at how much more detail is in this image.
Yet there is no hint whatsoever of the checkered pattern in this image or the 'bald spot'.



I wish I knew more about image enhancement because I can't figure out how this far superior image shows none of the fine detail we see in the shirt in the inferior Sprague image.
How can this be?
How does that work?
Any idea's old-timer?
And, by the way, how are you getting along with your timeline?

Au contraire, Mr. Completely Insane Huge Gates Getaway Car Bogus Imposter Haygood Guy, I "peeped" repeatedly. Once the thread reached the 57th time of Blustering Buffoon calling everyone else stupid, pinko, jerkoff, etc., etc., I think most sane people bowed out. I said on another thread that conspiracy theorizing makes strange bedfellows, but you and Blustering Buffoon really do deserve each other. Blustering Buffoon's contributions to this thread never advanced beyond "I know nothing about photographic enhancement, but I don't see how Bart could have done this and I don't think he did" - making my "peeps" rather relevant, it seems to me. These were all after you claimed "And Not a single peep in response! None!" - oh, the shame, Mr. Completely Insane Huge Gates Getaway Car Bogus Imposter Haygood Guy.

I quote Bart:

"The bald patch is a total giveaway.

I used 4 different sharpening techniques in photoshop."

Whatever, carry on.

(It is kind of a total giveaway.)

In case everyone has forgotten, somewhere up above I report on my exchange with Bart Kamp in which he explains what he did. I don't know him well at all, but he's always seemed gentlemanly and approachable. I just used the contact form at the Prayer Man site and heard back by email a couple of days later. If you folks think Bart "faking" the images is an actual possibiliy - which I'm betting you don't - WHY DON'T YOU FOLLOW UP WITH BART? (We know why you don't: You know full-well this is nonsense, but you're having too much fun to let it go. That, and the fact that you're afraid to take your accusatons directly to Bart.) Prove me wrong and CONTACT BART!

I bumped the last one at least twice more.

  You don't realize that you're regarded as the Forum's "Wizard Of Oz". Lotta noise, but nobody pays any attention to You.

[Lance Payette]

But apparently you just did! 

You ain't gonna win any battles of wits with this puppy, Mr. Completely Insane Huge Gates Getaway Car Bogus Imposter Haygood Guy.

Just tweaking you, Royell, because I'm convinced that, deep down, you aren't serious. It is impossible that you're serious. Please, tell us you aren't serious.
