I don’t know that you’ll be able to find Waldo in this image, but perhaps you can find some differences between this image and the one that follows it. Visual Assignment 1686: Find the 6 Differences invites us to adjust an image to introduce 6 pairs of differences. It reminds us to keep a copy of the original (important!) and also to make up an answer sheet. I’ll let you play first, before commenting on some of the strategies I used in making this. One note: I couldn’t stop at 6 differences. I’ve not counted up the number — perhaps you might like to provide the number that you think are present, while keeping your own list of differences private so that others can play along.
This was a fun challenge for 2 Credit Units. Most of the changes were implemented using the Clone Brush tool in Photoshop, typically with a radius of about 4 pixels, but on a few instances edited with a 1 pixel brush. On a couple of occasions I used the colour replacement tool (those ones are kind of subtle). In one instance I used the Magic Wand tool to select an area, and then applied a couple of transformations — can you find out which edit I would have used those for?
Historical Synchronicity (July 14th, 2015):
As I worked on this image, magic was happening way out in space today, magic that that carries the remains of Clyde Tombaugh. I imagine that he would have had an easy solution to a problem like this. A portion of his remains are on the New Horizons spacecraft.
