Spot the Differences Contest...Prize included!

DO I get a bonus point for noticing that you changed the white balance?

Didn't touch the WB...

When I used the 'replace color' tool for the yellow to blue shirt, it somehow affected the rest of the image, obviously.

To be honest I didn't see it as I was in a hurry to leave the house. When someone mentioned the guy w/sunglasses shirt changed color, I caught it. That's how we got 14 differences instead of 13.

Good eye!
 
very simple?

Not to be a buzzkill, but there is a very simple technique using Photoshop that instantly shows the differences. I suspect several people know this technique...it doesn't matter how hard you think you can make this...Photoshop will show the truth!

I'm not familiar with it. What's it called, or how's it work?

I can't imagine how it would work, especially if it was a 'flattened' JPEG image.

Do you know?
 
Prize..

Here's a "sketch" of Shane you won....personally autographed.

Original shot was taken at the MGM Grand Las Vegas during the 2009 Mosconi Cup. He has a copy himself.

PM me w/mailing address and I'll get it you ASAP.

Congratulations!

Are you sure you want me to tell?

You simply drag the two images into photoshop as separate layers superimposed and turn one of them on and off to see the changes in the two photos. (Alternatively, you can adjust the transparency of one of the layers to 50% to reveal the differences in the layer below.)

The differences will become instantly noticeable and it only takes a second to put a check mark or number by each one that is revealed.

Maybe not as easy as I let on, but infinitely easier than staring back and forth at the two images in your post, trying to spot the differences that way.

That replaces that color in the entire image...next time do a rough selection and change the color only within the selection...

There're lots of ways. First you can just show/hide the one layer and it's pretty obvious where everything is.

Here's a gif showing the effect:

Or, an even better way in my mind is to overlay the two images and set one layer to "difference" blending. That gives this result, which clearly shows where the images differ:
