WHY NASA Photoshop photos

It's often claimed that all NASA photos & videos are fake - In this video we look into those claims and how accurate are they?

Of course all the photos from space missions 40+ years ago were photoshopped. They just had to photoshop Photoshop into existence 40 years before it existed first. Easy. I find anyone who claims "CGI" easy to ignore anyway. Even in the late 90s, CGI was basically Toy Story III.

There are two basic workflows for scanning images:
1. use the scanner program that came with the scanner. These used to be universally awful, and lacked basic features. You'd end up with a file that you would then have to open in an editing application to do anything useful.
2. control the scanner from within Photoshop. The files would come in directly into the editing environment, allowing you to skip a bunch of steps and avoid dealing with the awful scanner software.

Speaking of satellites, a great way to disprove flat earth is with GPS. If you look at the data your device receives while GPS is active, it's just timestamps and coordinates from 4 different satellites – there's nothing at all about your own location in there. Then, the math to calculate your location only works if a) you're on a globe, b) the speed of light is accurate, and c) the reported positions of each satellite, including their altitudes, are accurate. If any of these are false then the result is easily thousands of miles off.

I worked at a metropolitan newspaper and every image was color corrected using Photoshop to match press settings. What the photographers were not allowed to do was to stage shots.

Dave, as a fellow photographer I enjoy your video's. As someone whom has actually shot for NASA even more so. Keep up the great work! Look forward to seeing more in the future!

[evawettergren]

Aaah, finally. Someone who actually understands optics explains what the images are all about... I have often thought that those poor flat earthers just need a couple of workshops from a photographer and much would become clear even for them.

[leeroy]

Only discovered you a day or 2 ago, have binged since! Amazing content, explained so well. Keep up the good work!!!

[Sander_Hollo]

I tried to explain them that midle focuspoint never distorts(bends) image.
Their answer was only that "it's bent", "it's fish eye" bla bla.
So i left this group.
Nicely done mate.Keep it up.

Every photo on your phone has some level of filtration done to it, from color vibrance to denoising. Try turning on RAW image mode and see how grainy and flat the photos are. This is basically what NASA is doing to its images, in addition to tiling multiple images into one wider panorama, and remapping colors to make them more presentable. They are not painting out space rats or buildings, or fabricating planets.

Best defense and explanation for a lot of the space photographs. This and the moon light fall off video clearly show that you have a knack for explaining technical things in a way, which answers the obvious counter-arguments, and doesn't leave too much pointless ambiguity in the discussion. Thanks.

I’ve worked around professional observatories and been involved in the design of several very large telescopes since the mid 1980s. The current images of objects in space in color are relatively modern. Astronomers have long taken black and white images with color filters, blue, red, etc to determine the color of stars. They did not bother with actual color images. I believe that it was William Miller that first published color images of objects in the sky in 1959. These were widely circulated and can be seen in the backgrounds of many movies. Science has long had a problem understanding the importance of good PR. These color images could hav been produced long before. I believe that even NASA was initially caught off guard at the level of public interest in the Hubble images.

As a side note to the "the details show it's been edited with Photoshop" - that entry from the file's metadata can easily edited out/changed without great effort. If anything the fact that NASA left them in is evidence that they're not trying to cover anything up. If that was their goal, they'd simple change stuff like that.

Dave, this is just a brilliant defense of reality. Thank you 🙂

basically, flerfs are the same as music "purists" that hate vocal layering.
vocal layering is when a singer pre-records a line, so they can sign a different line at the same time. layering the two lines over each other. allowing one singer to sound like there are two.
a LOT of songs do this, and there is a small population of music loving individuals that think its "cheating" or "fake"

A textbook example of how expertise can make an already settled topic interesting in the way good documentaries are re-watchable…our memories won’t retain it all so when the presentation is top notch the result is perfect entertainment, imo.

I can explain country size proportions changing. I took a photo of a highly decorative mug at close range and fit it to the frame veritically. Then I backed up to the back of the room and zoomed in and again fit it to the frame vertically. The mug sizes in the different images appeared the same but I could see more edge detail in the one that was taken from a distance. With a curved surface such as a mug or a sphere, you see more of the edges with distance.

It's hilarious when flerfs ask to see photo's of "upside down" objects such as planes and ships from orbit. They simply cannot grasp that there is no "upside down" on the globe.

The earth completing one “spin” in a 24 hour period is exactly what I use to refute claims that the earth spins “too fast” and that everything should be “flinging off”

I ask them to physically complete one “spin” themselves, but that they have to take 24 hours to do it, you can literally see the aha moment take place when asked face to face, while in chat rooms the conversation just abruptly comes to end
😂😂😂

I’m glad you’re channel has been growing a lot lately. But please don’t stop with camera and photography related content. Greetings /Albin

As an astrophotography using a filter wheel, I don't necessarily use photoshop but from data gathering to instragram, there is a software workflow.
