Floyd L. DavidsonThe BS is the spin the two of you are putting on your actual statement.

Yes, I found that text, but I don't think that it means what you seem to think it means. He wasn't claiming that JPEG is fully reversible: everybody knows that it isn't.
It means exactly what he intended it to mean. You are putting words in his mouth when you become his advocate and say that he wasnâEUR(Tm)t claiming that the JPEG is fully reversible. That is your spin on what he didnâEUR(Tm)t say.
Yes it means exactly what I intended it to mean, which is very obvious to Eric, but not to you.
There is no claim that JPEG is "fully reversible", or for that matter even partially reversible.
All the BS is *you not being able to understand*.
So your process isn’t actually reversible (or even non-destructive) so you could return to a true pre-adjustment state, just an illusion of a pre-adjustment state. I am glad we have cleared that up.Floyd L. DavidsonEric Stevens
an alternative series of processes: 1. Sharpen image. 2. Save file as JPEG 3. Apply Gaussian blur to JPEG image to recover original image sharpness.
Actually that is not quite what I said. I said the sharpen is reversible. I did not say fully reversible, I did not say the "original image sharpness" would be fully restored.
Those are *your* claims! (In Eric's rendition.)Strange, here is what you said, and when & where you said it. It is good to know you leave your statements open to interpretation.SavageduckFloyd L. Davidson
However you challenged me to support my claim that he actually said that. Remember? Yo said yourself; âEURoeNo one who understood what we we trying to talk about would claim that a JPG conversion is a reversible process.âEUR âEUR¦but Floyd did, and Floyd knows what he is talking about, and he means what he says.
Of course that is a total fabrication on your part. I said nothing about reversing a JPEG conversion.
So, it isn’t a fully reversible and/or non-destructive process?Floyd L. DavidsonEric Stevens
I understood him to be saying that inspite of the losses of a JPEG conversion, recovery of the original sharpness is possible if the original sharpening process used a high pass filter. That while saving as a JPEG will always cause losses, this will not prevent a Gaussian blur operation from recovering the sharpness of the original image.
Again, that is extremely close but lets not suggest that the "sharpness of the original image" is *fully* recovered. In other words "sharpness of the original image" is not the same as "original sharpness".
Regardless, none of that is what I said.I know, this is what you said:
No. I fully give you credit for what you said, and that you meant every word.SavageduckFloyd L. Davidson
Regardless of what you understood him to mean, what did he actually say? I doubt that Floyd would be please with anybody being so bold as to paraphrase his words. He does mean what he says doesnâEUR(Tm)t he?
So why do you insist on making absurd claims suggesting the meaning is other than precisely what is stated! Your argument on this is a total fabrication on your part. It's dishonest and lacks integrity.
There goes Floyd again, demeaning wherever he can. Four years at Syracuse is “solid as a pile of sandâ€, interesting.SavageduckFloyd L. Davidson
I certainly donâEUR(Tm)t have the engineering background you and Floyd have, but I have a solid education in the sciences
Solid as a pile of sand?
Just the facts as they reveal themselves, and those are presented to the D.A. to twist and insinuate guilt. I was actually quite good at what I did.SavageduckFloyd L. Davidson
and I have had years of experience in microbiology and lab work, all of which strangely led me down another career path solidly entrenched in investigation. One of the things I have been quite good at over the last 30+ years is remembering and pinning down inconstancies in statements. They can be revealing. So rather than put words in his mouth, let Floyd's words stand on their own without your interpretation.
As every criminal trial attorney is aware, a typical police officer is very good at twisting words to insinuate guilt where none exists. You *create* the "inconstancies" to pin down.
