Mark, as I said, I have no idea what these people were shown or are seeing. I've never said anyone is lying or that differing people might perceive something different. In my very first post about this dress, I said: Optical Illusions as the Nightly News suggested? A group of awful, different, un-color managed images?
I also wrote, and proven I think: I've seen several different posts that all appear different due to what has to be processing and mishandling of the data and probably lots of other factors.
I never said this isn't some kind of optical effect or illusion. I said it's a really stupid discussion among a group outside of teenage girls and maybe others who maybe never knew optical illusions existed and a surprise that this group would find it at all worthy. I also wrote: I'm not saying optical illusions do not exist, JUST THE OPPOSITE by providing them over the years and again today. I'm stating that every attempt to show this dress image is done with differing images that look different because THEY ARE DIFFERENT. That makes evaluating what's going on here more difficult and suspicious.
It's like the one web site that showed the dress with different white balance settings to illustrate the images appear different. DUH! This is news to some on LuLa?
