A NASA moon landing photo
Hello,
There is this stunning beautiful photograph at the NASA site dedicated to the moon landings. Someone who is into conspiracy theories argues that if you aggressively scale this, or many other photos from the same site, after download then you will see the signs of fraud. I used image editing program GIMP to do just that and did see some dark "shadows" around the spacewalk suit that I can't explain (see attached image below).
I am sure that this was the way they did image processing for publication back then, forty something years ago, when no computers were around, to adjust the image histogram. But does anyone know what exactly has been done here? Or does this have something to do with the cameras and the film they used?
Any reference or suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks, h.
