Hy people, glad you liked my previous illusion video clip. I see you managed to write over 100 relevant comments in less than a day. I’m still under impression of that illusion clip. Not to bore you with my sentiment, here’s another illusion of the day for all of you. Well, its more of a puzzle, but it can be understood as an illusion as well, since at the first glance you believe both photos are identical.
It was created for the Smartkit website, and they hold legal rights for this piece. You can find more cool stuff on their main page. Your assignment is to spot all the little differences, and believe me – there are many! For example, see that girl in the middle wearing a blue pullover? She’s also wearing glasses in first photo, while she misses them in the second. How many differences can we spot together? Please limit your self to only one difference per post, so other visitors can have their part of engagement. Although this is spot the object type of illusion, its first of a kind on this site, I’ll try to post more if you like it, and in the mean time lets solve it!

The facial expressions on the girl in white and the girl in black are switched.
Kind of a spoiler:
You could just tilt your head sideways(or somehow display the images side-by-side) and relax your eyes until one eye is looking at one picture and the other is looking at the other one. (like stereoscopic vision stuff)then you can see all the differences right away since they don’t match up.
Optical illusions are more fun!
More of them please :D
girl in white sweater and second row has a different facial expression
The girl near the left has on a blue shirt on top and a pink shirt on the bottom.
second row, middle girl, switched writing hands.
There’s a girl disappeared. on the top picture, there’s a girl near the top right. on the bottom picture, she’s not there.
here’s one:
in the top row,
one boy is wearing a red and white striped shirt in the first photo and blue and white striped shirt in the 2nd one.
ps. i like these types of illusions!!
the guy in the top middle, white and red stripes in the top pic, white and blue stripes in the bottom.
the guy in the back with the striped shirt has blue stripes in one and red in another. i love mighty optical illusions, and the guy who runs it is funny!
the fat boy near the top is wearing a different colour striped shirt
The girl in the 2nd row with the white sweater and the girl just above her had their faces switched entirely (not just their expressions).
2 girls in the top row were photoshopped out.
In the middle, right side of the top photo, there is a dark-haired girl wearing a purple sweater and glasses. When she transfers to the bottom photo, her sweater becomes green… ;-)
Cool spoiler trick! I thought I found them all and then when I tried that tilt head / double vision thing, One more popped out at me! I never thought of doing that… thanks Yana, for teaching me something new.
Here’s what I’ve found so far:
1.The girl in the second row in the white sweater has her face switched with the girl directly behind her in the bottom photo
2.The young man in the second row is right handed in the top photo, left handed in the bottom.
3.The girl on the far right in the third row is wearing a purple sweater in the top photo, a green sweater in the bottom.
4.In the same row to the far left, the girl in the top photo is wearing a blue sweater and in the bottom, it’s pink.
5.In the sixth row, there are two people missing in the bottom photo
6.At the very top of the top photo, the young man is wearing a red striped sweater while in the bottom, the stripes are blue.
That’s all I’ve seen so far and that could very well be it.
If anyone has a Mac w/Pages (i don’t know if you can do this in word/appleworks) you can crop two of the pictures, one of the top, one of the bottom, and put them into a pages document, one directly on top of the other, and slide the opacity bar in the inspector down to zero and up to 100% while you are clicked on the top photo. You can see the parts of the picture that are different change.
The girl in the blue sweater’s (she’s next to the girl in the brown shirt) pens change hands from being on the right side in the top photo to being on the left in the bottom.
Starting with the front row…
1 – I found no differences
2 – 2nd person is now a lefty and wearing no glasses, 3rd person has face switched with person above
3 – blue sweater turns pink, face switched with person below, purple sweater turns green
4 – I found no differences
5 – 2 people removed from this row
6 – red/white stripes become blue/white
That’s all I could find.
a girl in the top left also dissapeared
woah coolie….i love how the changes are so subtle. It must have been hard to take those pictures though haha
top left theres a girl in the top photo with a white sweater but not in the 2nd.
The guy in the blue hooded sweatshirt has someone behind him on top, but not on the bottom pic.
missing girl with white sweater in top left corner about 3rd row in top pic and 4th row bottom pic
Yana is right!
If you open the full picture (click on the picture), tilt your head sideways and cross your eyes (like you do with the sterioscopic images where if you do that it makes them 3D) all the differences really stand out!
P.S
Thanks Yana
I CANT SEE THE PICTURE… where is it? the image link also does not work.
The one who lost the glass is now left-hand
Actually, if you do “the stereoscopic look”, you don’t see that the pullover color is different, but other differences can clearly be seen
i can usually see sterograms, but i can’t do what Yana said, can someone explain?
have you realised how no1 is reading other peoples comments! ur spotting the same things! love ur site by the way x x x
this one is pretty boring, has nothing to do with optical illusion…
The girl in the row behind the girl in the white sweater to the right was wearing a black shirt and then switched to green
I’m Mega Ultra hot. So is Lisa
wow quite kl! its only gd becoz it wasnt too obvious (even thou i spotted it straight away! lol! :P).
I have two I don’t see anyone else noticing…
There’s a woman in the back, wearing a red sweater. In the top picture, she’s wearing a dark headband. In the bottom picture, the headband appears to be green.
In the second row, and I’m surprisedI haven’t seen anyone spot this, the second girl from the left is writing with her right hand, and in the bottom picture she’s become left handed.
WARNING: dont read mine if u want to spot the differences yourselves!!
i think there r 7 things that r different:
1. the women near the front (one had a black top on, the other (sitting in front of her) had white), changed expressions.
2. the boy on the second to last row had (in one picture) red and white stripes, and in the other picture, had blue and white stripes.
3. a girl in the 3rd to last row (in a white jumper) disappeared in the second photo!
4. the girl on the far right, in the 3rd to front row, changed from having a purple jumper, to a green jumper.
5. the girl on the far left in the 3rd to front row changed from having a blue jumper on to having a pink jumper on.
6. the girl in the middle in the 2nd to front row changed from having glasses on, to not having them on.
7. also (the same girl in difference: 6 (the one in the blue jumper)) changed from having her pen over to the left, to having it over to the right.
have fun spotting others!
they all seem a little gayer in the second picture… is that right?
The girl in the example is also holding her sharpie a different way in each picture.
guys….
no one switched facial expressions…
look again.
they switched from one girl wearing glasses, to the other girl wearing the same pair.
in fact, there is three or four changes with glasses.
the girl wearing the red sweater is wearing a brown headband in the first picture and a blck one in the second picture.
this isnt an illusion its a wheres waldo.
anonymous no. 38: they did switch glasses but they also switched facial expressions. u look agen.
also ive found another difference:
the girl in the middle on the second row bak switched the pen over to her right hand to her left.
oh from my previous comment i meant ‘courtney’, not anonymous no. 38.
also, btw, i didnt spot that someone had already pointed out my previous difference that i found! soz.
Ilusion¿? Just a bad newbie tryout..the first pic is the original, the below, a bad photoshop. 10 minutes do do that with any picture, can only fool because the image is so small.
The ONLY similarity is that everyone is very hideous
~Elyse
no, anonymous 43, u can open it up (by clicking on it) and it becomes bigger! u can tell the things look clearer wen u open it up!
but yh i agree with anonymous 43 – they r all hideos! lol :D
All I can say is those girls with the switched faces are really starting to creep me out..
OLD
I’ve seen 9 differences
my answer… loads
third row on far left has diffrent shirt colors
its soooooooooooooooooooooo easy i like saw everything at first glance if you dont c anything at first glance you cant see anything
Weird. I imediatly saw that there was something different between the two pictures but I could not put my finger on it at first.
The girl near the left has on a blue shirt on top and a pink shirt on the bottom also on the second row the middle girl has switched writing hands.
girl with sweater has a different facial expression and more people was add to the photo by the stair part
LOOK CLOSER PEOPLE: there are more, you just have to really look for them, here’s one – There is a girl in the 6th row on the far right (she has black hair with a white pullover type shirt). Not only is she missing from the secoond pic so is the paper on the table to the left of her.
The giel, with the glasses that dissappered, is writing with different hands in each picture.
I found 8 :)
the girl in the first picture in the 2nd row with the with jacket she is happy but in the 2nd picture she is not happy
Guy in the back has different colored shirt. There are 2 girls completely missing from the picture, one girl is wearing purple shirt in first which is now green in second. Blonde in same row is wearing blue shirt, is wearing pink in second. The 2 girls have switched faces and the one person with the blue sweater in second row is a righty in first pic and a lefty in second.
No one has swapped facial expressions, the whole face has been swapped if you look carefully!
i see 9
Hey, the photoes are taken at different angles!!!
There’s a girl missing on the third row from the top in the second picture!
the girl he mentioned in the middle in the dark blue shirt and the girl right in front of her in the white sweater, their faces have been switched. thats why shes not wearing glasses. and the other is. look closely, same facial expression on both girls but in different pictures
I spotted 10 altogether x
life magazine much?
2 people have swapped faces :0
isnt much of an optical illusion – isnt there a site for spot the differences!
3rd row. Far Right. First picture. Shirt color changes from purple to green.
wow nice photoshop skillz… you can tell the girl in white on the third to top row on the left isn’t there in the second pic… but the shadow from her paper hanging over the desk is still there
I agree wiht Niki (Jan 5) This isn’t an illusion. It’s a “spot the difference” type of picture.
the girl in the white beside the girl in the blue had glasses in the first picture but not in the second.
I found 10
i found 8
found 8 also including Vurdlak’s discovery
eg. a guy in the back has red striped shirt in one pic but blue striped shirt in the other
http://fr.tinypic.com/r/6i61qt/6
I think there are 10 differences if you include the disappearing paper at the right side of the black haired girl.
9 differences together.
Best to find is if you save both pics and then look at them in full screen going forward/back/forward/back, etc..
3 x sweaters changing color
2 x person missing
2 x person (ex)changing face
1 x glasses missing plus 1 x left/right hand writing.
I hope I didn’t reveal too much – because I didn’t tell where are these details. ;)
“…please limit your self to only one difference per post, so other visitors can have their part of engagement.” ty for that all >.>
It’s not photoshopped, you nob-jockey. It’s 2 different photographs, hence the different facial expressions.
this is not a optical illusion, its a photoshopped image, damn, just copy them both and switch the layers, you can easily see which parts of the image are fake
