What you're likely seeing as throwing you off is differences because this is an actual human wearing this - PLUS it's essentially an optical illusion. This isn't 3 versions of the same image with just the pattern changed. So yeah, these are actually not perfectly matching up if you overlay them on top of each other. I wouldn't say manipulated per se, just that they're 3 different images so they'll have some differences.

Yup.

So let's take the body/pose on the right, copy it to all three positions mask the dress only, and overlay only the dress pattern in the same mask to actually show the differences between the patterns only.

This is the kind of high tech solution that people with a closet would never think of. Good job

What if you paint all the white stripes black? That'd be .. mildly interesting.

Why can't I see your picture? Is it the app I am using?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

used lemmy.zip's CDN, what's your favorite image site, i'll copy it over

Might be blocking embedded pictures or not loading pictures from other instsnces? All just guesses.

I agree with you, but if you measure the width of the dress at the tip of her fingers, the left and right are about 99-100 pixels, while the middle one is 105 pixels wide. Her face in all three images is about 38-39 pixels wide (measured at the earlobe), so that rules out they stretched the entire image slightly. But 5 pixels is significant enough to kind of muddy the validity of the OP's message since it no longer rules out all but the appearance of the dress. It sadly happens that sometimes effects are exaggerated, even when there is a real effect at play.

Also, when people are trying to make a point, inadvertently they'll stand differently and have different posture ever so subtly.

Yeah, for sure. When I did the overlay I noticed the hands didn't match up, so I had to look close at the pose to see it's 3 different images with 3 different real dresses. Sort of defeats the purpose of doing this entirely.

The dress, it's power grows.
