All the outdoor photos were taken with the Tri-Elmar which had an IR cut filter installed. The clothing color is exactly as you see it. It just proves that people will see what they want to see or what they believe they are seeing. All the indoor photos were taken as I described though. Twenty years ago the same experiment was performed but was of a more serious nature. We had set up a demo for a VP of Engineering of a company buying one of our video products. The supposed problem was artifacts in the video caused by encryption. During the demo the VP was vehement that he could see the artifacts when we switched in the encryption. What he and what the rest of us didn't know is that the guy doing the switching was reversing the picture sequence. The VP thought he saw the artifacts when the video was clear and loved the picture during the encryption cycle. As it turned out the VP was really PO'ed, we got the contract and the engineer running the test was almost fired. Have a good day.
