Python scripts that compares PCA mean vectors for altered images and unaltered images from raw files

Fake comment? I'm telling you this is not how PCA code is written. Get some basic education and ethics before dismissing feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I ran out and got some basic education and ethics. The education taught me this is how PCA code is written. The ethics taught me that harassing and defaming people is bad.

Get your trashy code reviewed by a decent capable person, if they're willing that is.
Creating photoshop images and calling them real based on a nice story exactly what defames a person, if they had any shame, they'd know better.
