Mr. Shaneyfelt. The upper edge.
Mr. Eisenberg. Is it the upper edge, or is it a place that does not correspond to the rifle stock?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. It is an edge along the rifle stock that corresponds. I am speaking now of the highlight above the hand.
Mr. Eisenberg. No; you said before, in describing the highlight which you can see, you said they drew a highlight "along" the rifle—the rifle stock. Actually it was drawn, as I understand it, considerably above the edge of the actual rifle stock?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; that is true.
Mr. Eisenberg. Have you used this technique yourself?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; I have done retouching of photographs for halftones; yes.
Mr. Eisenberg. When you said before that this retouching is done by airbrush or brush, what medium is used in the brush or airbrush to achieve the effect?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. It is a water-soluble pigment, and it is available in varying shades of from white to black; it is available in different shades of gray tones, so that you could actually match the gray tone of the picture—since in these instances we are dealing entirely with gray, shades of gray—and you select a gray that is not too prominent that would give you a highlight that would look normal.
Mr. Eisenberg. So that the negative is painted, so to speak?
