How absolute difference (|A - B|) with multi-scale amplification exposes micro-adjustments and invisible watermarks.
When watermarks or copyright signatures are blended with 99% transparency, the pixel deviation is only 1 or 2 RGB levels. The human eye cannot detect this variance.
Subtracting the original master from the disputed copy and multiplying by 20x or 50x amplifies invisible micro-deviations into vivid, high-contrast evidence.
