I've tried manipulating the contrast (which the text hints at), but nothing seems to appear.

Also, is there a particular part of the image I should be looking at?

Yes, that's it, manipulate

to the max!

I'm using Microsoft Office Picture Manager (the only program I have that can do that type of manipulation), tried what you suggest, but still see nothing.

Worldly

Still nowhere...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Russia, Germany, Israel, Greece, India, ???, ???. I believe I have identified the correct characters for the first five. Either way I arrange the remaining two symbols, nothing happens. I "sort of" get the sounds but they don't sound like anything to me. I guess sort of like the people that can't see stereograms.

Help please!
Thanks!

Regarding 'QR', the fourth letter is not C.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It's "Arrr", or R.

Regarding 'Worldly', once the letters are in order, listen to them: left to right, top to bottom. You may have find the name of the letter for Germany; everything else is merely a matter of hearing� and joining all languages together.

Are the last two toh-ah or ah-toh. Not that I hear anything either way... eh-eszett-peh-rho-nun-toh-ah or eh-eszett-peh-rho-nun-ah-toh.

I'm not sure if my speakers are bad or my ears.

Thanks.

That last one sounds about right, though "eszett" can be replaced with the 'S' sound.
Now start slurring the words together and see what happens.

I feel sort of dumb, but I can't find the QR seal at all. (I also can't solve the last Master Chef phase.) Where is QR hiding?

... and then I found it. So if someone else can't find QR,

it's on the same page as Middle Office.

How Worldy really works

Okay, so even the people who got it don't seem to understand what Worldly is about, so here it is.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The symbols are letters or syllables in different writing systems. They need to be dragged onto the outline of a country that uses that system. That will play the name of the letter/syllable.

When you say the SOUND the symbol makes, it spells out the answer.

the answer:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The first symbol is Cyrillic, used in Russia. The letter is pronounced, "eh". The second is German. It is called Eszett (sz or double s), and pronounced like s. The next is Hebrew pe (Israel), which is pronounced p. Then, is rho (Greece), pronounced r. Then, Hindi a (India), a. then, Arabic nun (damned if I can tell what country that's supposed to be), n, and Japanese to. Esperanto.

Have you ever studied photography? In particular,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

do you know about Ansel Adams' Zone System? I used to make some very interesting pictures by pushing the hell out of my film (that is, underexposing and overdeveloping it) so that everything darker than Zone V printed as black and everything lighter than Zone V printed as white.
