[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1520958, member: 2989"] I went through and checked out the layers. There's nothing out of the ordinary with the certificate. The way OCR's work when scanning is that the software first does a first initial pass of the document. It then goes back and specifically pulls out text. Any text that is slightly different due to different pressure, darkness, ect is then extrapolated as a different layer from the main text. The certificate is consistent in that all the dates and any parts that looks to be stamped are in their own individual layer/elements from the rest of the text that is hand written. This is normal. You can also see that even in some of the hand written parts, areas where letters or words that weren't as dark as the letter before it was pulled separately from the rest of the text dude to the slightly visible difference in contrast. Again nothing abnormal here. Here is a section of the certificate [b][Broken External Image][/b] Here it is with one of the layers turned off. Note you can still see traces of the text on the back ground. Also note that the date was not part of the layer. That is because part of the stamped date is a slightly different shade of black from the other text, so it didn't get extrapolated as an element with the bulk of the other text. [b][Broken External Image][/b] However, I will say this. The actions shown in the actions panel is consistent with what I would do with a scan of a document to increase contrast and to make it readable. The rotates and resizing actions is exactly what I would use to rotate the scan upright if the image was horizontal and it looks to have been resized to be smaller in file size. The only thing the Obama administration is guilty of is not flattening all the layers before releasing it. Really really dumb move because this will only be more fuel for the tinfoil hat types.
