"""Figure 2: """"Photoshopped"""" combination of the Tumblr photo and the Publicity photo. Left: The model of the publicity photo (unadjusted in colour) has been given a cut-out of the dress from the Tumblr photo (also colour-unadjusted). Most people (I think) will see the dress as blue-and-black (but more pale than in Fig. 1, given that there isn't the extreme yellow of the flesh tones in that image). Right: Here the model (and background) have been darkened, and the dress 'lights up', looking to most people white and gold. This is the kind of context that the white-and-gold seers of the original Tumblr Dress treat it as having: they see (e.g.) as if it were in a darkened store, with bright light, contrasting, outside and behind. No wonder it looks white and gold in that context. The dress itself is the same (as pixels on the screen) in both images: as the strip connecting them shows."""
