Actually , Farid says you ca n’t try a photo is real , but he did pick apart down one of the chief argumentation that the pic was fake : People exact the light sources score Oswald ’s grimace are all wrong , prove it ’s a paste - up job . But Farid painstaking mapped all the light sources in the picture and compared them against his model of Oswald ’s head . According to the Union Leader :
He used a computer program Facegen , to build a virtual 3D model of Oswald ’s principal . Once that was completed , he added in the setting features of the photo . Through a series of computations , he figured out where the camera had to be , the flight of the Dominicus and where Oswald was in relation to the photographic camera .
After that , it was many a watchful Nox Farid said , seek to mate on the dot the shadows to those envision in the photo …
Farid said given the technology available 46 years ago , there is no agency someone would have been able to get the internal and external element of the photo just right in ordination to fabricate not only the one photo , but two others in the series .
