Thanks for this, SKresearch. To me (JMO), what some are seeing as 'writing' appears to be indention, instead - when we first looked at this in the early threads, I remember thinking maybe it was a trifolded piece of paper (floorplan?), because his thumb appears to go into the object a bit.
But in context, I really do think this was some sort of tool with indentions...something he kept attached to his SWAT vest when not in use, and pulled out occasionally to use. It appears it was something he may have used in Rm 12, since he exits the door with it still in his left hand. (Room 12 is a kids' classroom according to the church website, also used for ladies' Bible study.) For this reason, even though I'd considered weapon, I'm leaning more towards tool than weapon - he'd have no cause to use a taser, gun, or silencer in that classroom. But he may have used a breaching or multi-tool to enter the classroom or to inflict damage in that room.
So I'm still googling breaching and multi-tools...
Well like I stated previously, this thing possibly does "not" have, jagged edges.
This is possibly due to, when the photo is "enlarged".
(Because, if you notice, even the straight-line, of where the bottom of the wall meets the floor, after enlargement even IT appears to be, jagged. (no longer a, straight-line) (It is also seen in regard to, around the door.) The straight-line, is "distorted" (in regard to the "view" of it), after photo is "enlarged".
Things that occur like this (after you "enlarge" a photo) are commonly referred to as: "artifacts".
(When I enlarged the above, I was using my "Irfanview". It also did the same thing, when I tried it in microsoft Paint.)
But I have been searching for some (free) programs, which are stated to, cut-down on "artifacts". (reduce this 'problem', when you "enlarge" something.)
I recently installed the (free) app called, Reshade. (It is supposed to be a good one.) But I haven't 'gotten the hang of' using it yet. I am not familiar with the "settings" of it yet.
What is truly needed is: a program in which, when you "enlarge" something (a photo, or a 'crop' from it), there is no "distortion" (unwanted, "artifacts"),
and...that you can make things more, crystal-clear. (Instead of the end result being, "blurry".)
And also, some people might be better at trying to do the (correct) "settings" (than I am), in order to try to make it come in more clearer.
[I am no expert, at this type of thing. (But I have been, 'playing around with it', for some years now.)]
And I also now realize, that I need to try to find some different apps to 'take for a whirl'.
(I have used "Irfanview" for many years now, and I love it.
But I realize that, some programs are good for "some things", and other programs are good for "other things".)
And I am trying to get a better accomplishment in regard to, trying to get things to come in more "clearer". (including, in regard to things that have "writing" on them.)
So my search continues, for a program (and a "free" one, at that), that will "really" do this.
(In that search, I recently came upon some "free" programs,
and it was stated that the (free) program was like that used by:
- Forensics
and
- FBI
So I have been reading-up on some of those.
Focus Magic is supposedly a good one. (It is stated to be shareware)
(Do a Google search for)
Focus Magic photo enhancement
[* And for the record, I don't want to "change" anything.
I just want things to come in more "CLEARLY". (and without a "blur")
(For example,
to be able to actually see what someone's face does - actually - look like,
or to see what writing does - actually - say.)
(Or, in regard to a license plate, if it looks "blurred", some program that might actually cut down on the "blur", so you can possibly tell, what it does say.)
In other words, I am looking for a program which will be helpful in regard to, when I research cases.
That is what I am looking for.]
(I know a lot has been stated about, PhotoShop, how some people use it for reason of, to change something/or insert something, etc., etc. I do not own PhotoShop and have never used it.)
