Haven't seen a thread on this Rapinoe dude....

Every highlight in the second image is darker. The second picture has lower contrast - flattening both highlights and shadows. Less depth. Less vibrancy.

What could have happened is two editors took the same image onto two different computers. One had a brighter monitor. That guy dropped the highlights because he perceived the image as too bright. Or vice versa.

What probably happened is someone was probably working with an original image and someone was working with something they pulled off the internet.

Try searching ANY image that will result in finding the same image under different titles hosted at different sources. You’ll see all kinds of differences from quality to brightness to color grading.

If you actually wanted someone’s skin to look darker there are way better ways a graphic artist of any ability at all would’ve used.

Bottom line. The two images are of dissimilar quality. Nothing more. This tweet and the story are as dumb as the guy who posted it here.

Dang. As expected, an expert on the subject did not disappoint in his analysis.

@Pokeabear, your thoughts?

Chuckle.

Over the years, it's become kind of a side show with my visits to the DMV. When I'm photographed, what shade will I be? About three visits ago, I was particularly dark. Not since.

I would say this - the simplest explanation is that the editor just picked the lowest quality pic on purpose because Kneeler McShithead is not supposed to look "good" in the pic. But the idea that making him look "darker" makes him somehow seem more sinister to Republicans is in itself, a stupid racist conclusion to draw.

Are we supposed to think someone has seen Kneeler's ridiculous antics over the last 3 years and only when they saw a marginally darker image of him decided he wasn't a good guy?

We live in the stupidest times ever.

A liberal magazine, Time, made OJ Simpson look darker for its cover.

It's all relative to physics, science.

I won't own another black car because they're hot as hades in this climate.
