[challenge entry] After my last attempt at hiding an elephant wasn't too hot
I thought I'd have another go. Probably best to click for bigger if you actually want to find it.

EDIT: Here's a clue.

# I give up
Is the elephant actually taking the photo?

# Nope,
it's in there but it's well hidden. And not in the "it's in the water" kind of way. There is an elephant sat right in the front of the picture.

# If you cross your eyes and uncross them quickly
you can make the crab snip at his face

edit:

Is he standing up or sitting down?

# Sitting down.
What did you do to get that image? It's not quite what I put there... You have to use the CFB otherwise the compression stops it working.

# ah I hadn't seen that
huzzah!


Just put one over the other and change the top layer to difference blending.

# OK I've done that, a few times now
and still I see no elephant

# you need the original pic he linked in his post
use photoshop to find the difference between the source picture and the edited one, then fiddle with the brightness and things.

# it will work with gimp too
or most things with layer blending probably.

# It's stenography.
Hiding one image in another. I was reading about it today and thought that it'd be perfect for this challenge.

From this: http://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_hide_one_image_in_another_An_introduction_/

Except instead of reducing the colours and reducing the brightness manually I used the levels tool in photoshop.

# No you didn't.
Although all you needed to do was turn up the brightness on your monitor, or just tilt it a little. No way near as well hidden as this one.
