Re: pic: Return of the Banana?

I'll be honest: My immediate first thought was "Fake!", but I figured what the heck, I'll try to find it. I played around for a good bit, and this is the best I could come up with. I'm not sure how you got it to stick out so well (it's clearly a banana in your version), but props for finding it assuming its not fake.


Top left for reference, top right is a gradient channel map, bottom left is after some playing around with desaturation and adding back in some color, bottom right is inverted and messed with hue.

Re: pic: Return of the Banana?

Hmm, could this be related to the colors we saw on Einstein?

Another idea: Can someone with the capabilities right now, filter the image with the value of the green light?

Re: pic: Return of the Banana?

I call fake.

Although I didn't play around with it yet in photoshop, I don't think that very banana-like stem is in the original photo. I can see where the body of the banana might come from, but not the stem. Also, I can't see where the highlight along the body of the banana would come from either. To me, it looks like sanddrag superimposed a slightly translucent banana on top of an already (mostly) yellow backround, and matched it up nicely with the existing "banana-like" curves and lines in the photo.

Nice try, though.

Re: pic: Return of the Banana?

Banana appeared here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=41024 and here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/25906 also. I think it means there's climbing to retrieve something. Also, in this game hint, if you take the original http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=41024 and Photoshop it, image, adjustments, autocolor - an image of a hand appears from the right hand side across the image. (Sorry if this was discussed elsewhere - I may have missed it). Thus the "High Five" game is making sense to me. Climb a ramp or something, High Five something at the top to retrieve your "banana" and move on?

Of course, the banana might mean nothing. It could just mean that Dave needs more potassium in his diet.

Re: pic: Return of the Banana?

This is definately a shop

EDIT: Actually, I take that back... I was completely and totally wrong

After messing around with alpha channels, I found TWO MORE BANANAS!

EDIT#2: My bananas are fake. They are purely superimposed Google bananas, and I apologize for any confusion. Edit #1 was only an attempt at sarcasm. Oh well, I'll get better

Keep in mind, the name of his company is HavABanana, check the copyrights on the end of the game animations (and even some 116 videos).

Sigh. I was really into the banana thing. Oh well, I guess we can all sing, "Yes, we have no bananas..."
