CODE PAGE CRACKED AT LAST..
AND THIS IS HOW IT WAS DONE >>>
It's suggested that you view this video in full size on YouTube...
Followers of the blog will know that I have for many years aid that the so-called letters of the code page were not the real code and that from various observations I had seen evidence of micro written code letters and numbers on the page including within some of the letters. Over the years I have made many attempts to improve what it was that I was seeing and to get some consistency in the appearance of the codes.
Recently, I have been working on a fluid which I could use to effectively strip away super-thin layers of dark ink that were used to mark over the letters and other lines and markings on the code page and thankfully/luckily, I got it right as you can see in the above video.

HOW IT WAS DONE
There are four parts to the solution:1. You need to print out the code page from a reasonable quality inkjet printer. I have an older model Canon MX 726 model with the print quality set to high and the paper type set to high resolution.
2. You should use a high resolution/bleed-proof paper, A4 size. You can source that in pads of 50 from an Art Supply shop. In Australia, I would recommend Eckersleys for that paper.
3. Once printed allow the page to dry, 10 minutes is ample. Even at this stage, the print out will show you evidence of the existence of micro written letters and numbers beneath the marked lines made by the Police.
4. Lastly you need to apply the fluid as shown in the video. I will be releasing that information in the next week or so.
ASTONISHING AND UNIQUE BREAKTHROUGH
This code is a unique example of WW2 clandestine communications. This blog found it and cracked the code. It is the biggest and most important breakthrough in the Somerton Man case since 1949.
From here on, there can be no credible theory about the Somerton Man Case published that does not contain a reference to not only the discovery of the code on the code page but other images that are underway.

CIPHER MYSTERIES BLOG
Many will know that one of the greatest critics I have had over the past 8 years has been Nick Pelling of the Cipher Mysteries blog. Nick rarely posts on the Somerton Man case these days but in the past he posted on a couple of occasions how he had found 2 Hi-Res scans of the code page and that he had examined the new scans and left these comments:
'…what you find is that the so-called “microwriting” (found in the leftmost of the three images) was simply a quantizing artefact introduced when the original JPEG image had its brightness and contrast adjusted. With the new (slightly higher resolution, and generally much smoother) scan, all that nonsense disappears. There is no ‘microwriting’ there at all: The End.'

That was written in 2017 and of course, his eager band of followers chimed in. You can view that page here:

Just to show that I have no hard feelings Nick, I actually used the code page that you recommended to others to examine and reveal the microcode that you can clearly see in the video above. Seems like I was right all along, don't worry I don't expect an apology from you or your admirers.
Here's the link on Nick's archive page where you can download the so-called 'Varallo image, (it was actually done by Trish from Adelaide,)
When you reach that page, you will find 3 images of the code page, you should click on the third one, it will enlarge and you can download it from there.

(The image was saved at 24 bits and not the 8 bits normally used for Black/White images which accounts for its larger files size)
CLOSE UP OF CROSSED LINES:
The above image was grabbed as a still image from the video si ut us not as clear as I would like.
Work on decrypting the various code snippets is underway. The process used has been improved and we will revisit any earlier work.
QUESTION
Let's answer a question, 'When you scan a good image, does it lose any quality?'
The short answer is NO. A scan captures the exact nature of the photograph you are scanning so if you are scanning an image at 300 DPI, then you will get a 300 DPI electronic file version of your photograph.
Here's a link to a website that explains how scanning does not alter the quality of a photograph
In the case of the Somerton Man code page, the original photo resolution was particularly good, (my understanding is that it was glass plate photography that was used). The electronic file of the photograph was saved at 400 DPI which is a really good resolution and good enough to capture fine details. It means that your original photograph was turned into a digital image file that would print out at 400 dots per inch so that means 400 dots vertical and 400 dots horizontal within 1 square inch. That equals 160,000 tiny dots in each square inch, lots of detail in that space.
When you print out your electronic file of the code page, it becomes a 400 DPI precise photograph of the original (Police?) photograph. If you were to print out the scanned file and then scan that at a higher resolution, say 600 DPU, then you would be able to print out a larger photograph of that same image as explained in the linked website.
The Varallo file of the Somerton Man Code page was saved at 24 bits, which allows for up to something like 1.7 million different shades of colour/black/white. So, we have a finely detailed photograph with a huge range of shade variations. That is why, if you print that file out at high-quality setting onto bleed proof paper you will be able to relatively clearly see the fine markings beneath the inks cover applied by the Police even before you apply the fluid I refer to in the video.
The next question then is, 'What if you then take a photograph of the scanned image file that you print out, does that affect the quality of the photograph?' Again the answer is no for similar reasons to the first answered question. You would want to use a reasonable quality camera and lens to achieve the very best result.
I respectfully suggest that, now that the technique has been explained, that you test it by following the instructions that you will find below. To quote Albert Einstein:
'Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance'
