Old news - please stop posting it around other threads as well, that's just the picture Cassie gave us days ago.

So I think I figured out what's going on in this clue.

Cassie has laid quotes from specific poems over each picture.

For example,

the top right image has words from the poem "WHERE" over it.
you can see "doe-eyed moppet's" clearly.

the middle-left picture has quotes from "WHAT"
you can see "she lied she" clearly.

Cassie is trying to get us to associate specific poems with the pictures.
LEFT-TOP = WHO
LEFT-MIDDLE = WHAT
LEFT-BOTTOM = WHEN

RIGHT-TOP = WHERE
RIGHT-MIDDLE = WHY
RIGHT-BOTTOM = HOW

this also corresponds to the layout of the image containing the blurred text of the poems.

youre right curriguy. we've been working on it since this clue came.
we just need line #6 in HOW. and it ends in wait.
Bosquelito figured out the where poem.

I think they actually contain the entire poems, not just quotes from them. So I think you are right, putting the who/what/when etc to the picture is whats important I think.

Here's Who overlain. I don't know the font or I would have used that so I just put the words under the corresponding lines and you can see where they match.

I'm not great at photoshop, but is there a way to eliminate one picture from another if the picture is made up of parts and you had each individual part?

Let me clarify.

We have a picture of six inverted objects = A
We have the Red page picture with the poems hidden under it = B
We have a picture with both pictures superimposed = A+B =C

Is there a way using photoshop to remove A from C to get a clearer B?

C - A = B' (B' refers to a clearer version of B)

I've prepared the complete solution (as I see it) with text overlays:

Please note that this is not official from Cassie.

I'm no expert either - But yes, I tried that.

The result wasn't so great (in fact next to useless) because the red background is different in each picture also:
The original is smoothly graduated red.
The one with the text one we want is speckled red.

This leads to so many differences that the text is unreadable. I found it much easier to just tweak the colour balance until I could read it.

If you look the picture with my last post "full scale" it's fairly easy to pick out the words and check the spacing however. HTH

But I was stressing removing the inverted images from this latest picture, not comparing the two red images.

But I agree the easier choice would be to simply work with the color ballance.

This is kind of disappointing... it doesnt seem to give us anything new other than the rest the shapes of poems 5 and 6, which we where struggling with a couple lines on

That's not true...

Most people seem to agree on the answers to the WHERE and HOW poems now. Check above posts or LGpedia for (unconfirmed) answers.

Yes - nothing new, except now we know we have the bits we need to get the 100% right answers.

I've started a poll in the puzzles thread so you can vote on:

Are these the "correct" solutions, as Cassie intended?
Yes
No
