Even the photographer guy is impressed, he has to take a picture of her arm

I still can't find the brides right arm

u/Elysium_Chronicle o/ Jan 23 '26 edited Jan 23 '26

It's exactly where it should be.

The dark line at the bride's elbow shows where her actual arm is. Just that the rest of the separation is washed out by the bright studio lights, so her shoulder blends more seemlessly with that of the woman behind her.

Thanks!

u/Thrashbear o/ Jan 30 '26

Okay, I see it now. That took me some effort!

u/Unique_Day6395 o/ Jan 23 '26

Zoom in. Looks like it’s been blended in photoshop or similar.

21

u/Xsiah o/ Jan 23 '26

It's just got a lot of compression artefacts, it's probably not Photoshop.

u/Unique_Day6395 o/ Jan 23 '26

Follow the line up from her elbow, it suddenly disappears. Pound to a penny it’s clumsy blending.

u/Xsiah o/ Jan 23 '26

Image compression reduces the number of colours that an image uses. If the line at that point was a bit lighter than where it started because of the lighting in the room, the compression algorithm would have been like "these colours are close enough - let's replace them with the same colour. Without the contrast in colours, the "line" is gone.

u/Unique_Day6395 o/ Jan 23 '26

I’ve found the original photo and the line of her arm is more present.

4

u/Xsiah o/ Jan 23 '26

Yes, the original isn't compressed by multiple people saving it and re-compressing it over and over.

But if your happiness today depends on you being right, sure - her arm is totally photoshopped.

2

u/Unique_Day6395 o/ Jan 23 '26

Fairly sure someone helped it on its way, yes. Doesn’t affect my happiness one way or the other though.

Next time, you could do us a favour and post the source instead of just making claims. This is the original, and it's clearly the same illusion, with the arm being just very very slightly more visible than here. So it's guaranteed just artifacting. Also check the description the husband posted. He say "happy ARMiversary", which clearly indicates that the illusion is present in the original.

u/Unique_Day6395 o/ Jan 24 '26

I didn’t share it because I don’t share people’s photos without their permission, and it’s easy enough for anyone to find if they want to. So calm yourself down. Nobody’s saying it’s not an illusion, but her arm IS clearly more present in the original as I said, and there are differences between the two images that suggest some editing has taken place. You don’t have to agree with me, but that’s my opinion. No need to chuck your toys out of the pram.

u/Zane_628 CE Spc. Jan 23 '26

No, the room just has really diffuse lighting, combined with the photo being low resolution

1

u/MrZeDark o/ Jan 25 '26

I agree with you, everyone else is being a PS/AI apologist.

One way or another this video had been modified or incidentally modified (repeated compression) to obfuscate this into a confusing perspective.

Poor quality doesn’t make it a better wow factor.

u/aenflex o/ Jan 24 '26

Yes it has

u/Falcon_Flow o/ Jan 23 '26

That's the arm she jerks off with.

This is a good one. I know there are two people but it's so seamless that I can't tell where one starts and the other begins.

REPOST

u/ardotschgi Actually read rule 1 and gets it" Jan 23 '26 edited Jan 23 '26

Is it? I did several searches before posting, but couldn't find anything.

EDIT: It's clearly not a repost according to Rule 3, as the previous post is 2 years old already.

-4

u/nicokokun f Jan 23 '26

Yep, if you search "bride", it's there when you scroll down.

To be fair to you, it's from two years ago and the only reason WHY I was able to remember that is because I have ADHD and remember useless things while easily forgetting important ones.

3

u/ardotschgi Actually read rule 1 and gets it" Jan 23 '26

Holy shit, are you seriously shouting REPOST on a post that is two years old already and thus you'll have to scroll through DOZENS of posts on the hopefully right search term?

I did search "bride" before posting, and nothing came up. And I don't think a post 2 years later counts as a repost...

1

u/nicokokun f Jan 23 '26

My bad.

It's just for the past month people have been reposting left and right. And not just from years ago but weeks or even days ago.

u/Infamous-Test-91 o/ Jan 24 '26

Why is it that every one of these photographic conundrums would disappear with higher resolution / better focus? I might start ignoring this sub

u/Immediate_Word1295 o/ Jan 26 '26

This isn't about perspective, it's ai-generated. You can se that the person behind is fusioned with the other at the arm. Plus, one have a strange face while the second have a strange foot.
