MRS. PRUITT'S DARKROOM

Six contact prints were filed out of sequence. Generate the lossless forensic PNGs, extract the red-channel least-significant-bit payload from each, then use the visible developer temperature and fixer time to restore chemical order.

RECOVERED DARKROOM WORKSPACE // Training reconstruction. The six evidence photographs below are the actual source images used to manufacture the encoded PNG files.

TRAINING OPENRAW PNG REQUIRED // NO LOOSH

Do not resize, screenshot, recompress, or convert the generated evidence files before extraction. A screenshot is a different image and will destroy the steganographic bitstream, because apparently even haunted school photography has file-format requirements.

Contact Sheet // Deliberately Misfiled
Sequence the Negative

Order the six prints from the lowest developer temperature / shortest fixer time to the highest. Extracted fragments may join across a print boundary inside one word.

> Negative sequence unresolved.
Training hint

Each generated PNG begins its red-channel LSB stream with a 32-bit big-endian payload length, followed by ASCII bytes. The built-in reader is an accessibility/QA tool and decodes the exact generated pixels.
