[PUZZLE/SOLVED] 2 July update: Redoor image

argtalk the website was updated, with a mysterious image called reddoor

a series of numbers on one side, and adjusting the levels gets you this, a series of numbers on the other side. It reminds me of one of those Japanese puzzles - like a nonogram, but in reverse

If you put the file in photoshop and blow up numbers you can see that they are made of different levels of black even for the same numbers. If I knew more about photoshop it would maks a filter from a number and compare it to the same number in another position on the image.

the top and bottom numbers, 35 and 25 are the number of rows for the set opposite...if that helps.

using this applet : this applet

lots of good stuff about nonograms there btw
basically you use one set of numbers for rows, and the other for columns, and each number says how many cells in a grid are full, so forexample 35 means that 35 cells are full, 1,3,1 means theres 1, then a row of 3 and then another 1 . cross referencing the columns and the rows gives a pattern.
e.g for the equals sign 1,5,1 in the rows

Kind of like an advanced Suduko.

( /me predicts these to be in newspapers soon)

anyhow we got this image:
