I have recently recieved this funny document over email...... but how was it done? can anyone please tell me how to do this??
Well, whatever it is, apparently it doesn't work for people who don't use MS Office. Like myself.

Well I'll be hornswaggled! Took me no time to figure out how it is working but have yet to reproduce the effect as well as I would like.

Heres how it works. Paste both states onto a new photoshop doc. Have a reeeeel close look. The image is kinda pixelated in a very regular manner. Like a supper small, infinite chess board. In state 1 (purdy flowers) the image is situated on the 'white' squares, in state 2 (luvly ladee) on the black squares.

The tonal range (from brightest point to darkest) from both the images is very slight and one image is darker than the other. The flowers register first but as they live in a higher tonal bracket than the second image they are the only squares to be significantly affected by the prescribed change.

Reproducing this in PS was a different matter. making the 'chess board' mask was a bit of fiddle with actions and the images are not the finest. Toggle the adjustment layer to see it in effect.

For anyone a bit warry of downloading the doc file or if anyone (like xsenos) has no MS word then I attach the image as a jpeg.

Open it up in PS then set a Brightness/Contrast layer adjustment over it. Set the Brightness to -100 and the contrast at +85. Prepare to be amassed.
