Has anyone attempted color correcting this image whereby to enhance red? |

All of the other photos I've seen are either enlarged, and/or color corrected.

I just noticed that each of the 11 Vials has a red tint. That could be due to many factors, including reflecting the color of a reddish room or the red clothing of the photographer, or the filter on the camera, or the florescent lights in the room, or the flash of the camera. The point is, they are compromised. The biggest problem involves the two darker vials. A dark, slightly greenish ingredient just might appear red, when it is not.

I recently spent a fair amount of time trying to color balance them using 'GIMP' (the GNU Image Manipulation Program) and gave up in frustration. There would need to be both standardized photographic gray scale and color charts in the photo for reference, and of course there are no such references by which to attempt valid color and density balancing. There are only useless guesses.

Can't be done. If color adjustments are attempted to cancel out the red tint reflected from the vials, then the actual contents of the vials would be altered also.

Just a quick comparison to vial C with some 1970's era tomato soup mix that I got my hands on. This particular packet had a tiny pin hole in it resulting in the hardened dark clump. It kind of reminded me of the dark vial. Especially the burry/frayed edges of the dried tomato powder. My other packets in the box seem to be in tact and are still sealed and free flowing. Just a side-by-side that you guys can use to study. Also, just in case anyone is wondering, Lipton's tomato soup mix came out some time around 1960 or 61. But...Bachelor's brand in the UK, Symington's and Nestle's all had a dry tomato soup mix on the market as early as the late 40's. Thanks!  Vial Tomato compare copy by douglas adcock, on Flickr |

I love riddles. I'm waiting for answers on one now. To go to law school you have to take the LSAT. It is very difficult. A good part of it are riddles. "Find the patterns".
Look at those 11 Vials. I see three patterns that could reveal the secret to the OR. Enjoy. I'm looking for more.
Hint. Why would the 11 vials be labeled with the alphabet, rather than numbers?

I think you will find many substances that will look like the vials. Even 1970's decaying Lipton Soup.

I've become convinced that the sole intent and purpose of the vials is to deceive and sidetrack the efforts of clone seekers. How many thousands of cumulative man hours have been wasted in total thus far via fixation upon this deception?

It's also stored in a vault. |

Here are some, with varying degrees of likelihood: 1) it was a random / specified / artistic / recipe carryover / marketing choice 2) It easily allows for sub ingredients: Vial X can be described elsewhere as comprised of ingredients X1, X2, X3 etc. for example 3) There are less the 26 ingredients and seemed “natural” 4) It is orientation independent A = A, but 6 does not equal 9 5) It allows for a higher numerical base in a single digit column, much like hexadecimal vs decimal counting for better presentation and visibility. 6) any semi-random bolding of text is purely coincidental |

I noticed that over time, the glass vials holding white pepper start to resemble ginger or turmeric. I'm uncertain whether this change is due to aging, or if heat and pressure contribute to it.
I'm referring specifically to white pepper that has aged for more than 40 years.

On September 9, 1985 the world was shown the 11 herbs and spices in glass vials. This is worth a revisit based on new information provided by Glen and friends. I have a picture of those vials. I would like to post it here. The picture I have someone made and above each vial it has CHS head. Anyone else have that? It is a very clear picture.
