I’m using IE9. Is that why I can’t see it or is there no difference?

In IE, hit CTRL+A to select all. This will select the image and IE shades every other pixel, thus canceling out the prominent Bush.

FYI, won’t work in IE8 either.

The reason this works is because every other pixel is gates. Bush is more visible in the main picture because there’s a stronger red tone in his face, and gates is more of a blue tone. The common blue in the flag is the same.

When you scale it down to 50%, the goal of this would be to cut out every other pixel, effectively removing the bush component of the image. Most newer browsers don’t just throw away every other pixel, but they perform a proper downsample which interpolates between nearby pixels, preventing any aliasing effects, this would negate the possibility of this ‘illusion’ to work.

NOT an illusion. Just a gif…gee almost like doing a mouseover on a webpage. 2 images that swap positions under highlighting.
Every movie is an illusion. A bunch of still pictures yet you can see people ‘move’ WOW.

It only works in IE because it was designed by someone that has IE/Microsoft mentality. MS/IE biggest illusion…we are a good operating system.

Maybe it’s because I’m using the Windows 7 Beta (IE 8), but this does NOT work.
