I don't know who altered the particular photo in question...the one with the broken windshield. I'm unsure if this is the same one where you can see a driver that many referred to as having a black head. I would like to know who did it to see how they came up with these images.
But I will say one thing.... Most of the pics I have seen have ONLY been altered by either cropping, enlarging or changing the contrast of the photo's LE released. These types of alterations are absolutely essential in determining what is being seen. I have these photo's and have enlarged them and I do see blue/teal in the original photo's. Now I think it is a reflection on LE taking a pic of the video to provide a quick pic for the media.
If you are going to rely on the pics released by LE without increasing their size or trying to sharpen the images en you may as well not ever look at the photo's period because you will never see anything but another white truck.
I know people who have been in LE in all aspects for many many years. They hire experts to take stills of each frame of a video and they use several types of programs to clarify the images. They want to see every blade of grass if they are able. So if someone here has the skills and capability that these experts do to clarify these images then i want to see them! Seriously, what does it hurt? Of course, they need to be labeled with what type of alterations were made.
Guess it bothers me that members are so against some of the very minor alterations that have been made. Cropping, enlarging and changing the contrast does NOT change what is in the image. It makes it clearer. It doesn't make a blurry blob look like a bicycle if it isn't one to begin with.
There have been a lot of wild and somewhat crazy theories I've seen pass through this thread. Sometimes I read a post and and think the person has been under a rock for fifty years to even think it's possible but I respect their opinion and appreciate the thought they put into it.
As ole Sherlwhen says...."When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
IMO, due to having experience in dealing with enhancing and cropping photos, you're never going to see anything conclusive with the photo in question in this case. No matter how much you blow it up or crop it. The distance from the camera that you are focusing on is too small (just a number of pixels when blown out, maybe even 1-2). That is way too small of a number to make out anything, even a color. This is to due to a wide variety of factors, not the least of which that it's low resolution to begin with.
