Well it wasn't about the gamma differences between the two maps, although it's pretty clear there is a difference there. There's a difference in brightness as well.
But it could be about a gamma difference on the map I suspected was photoshopped. There's a distinct 'line of demarcation' in the color... the color changes... and that could indicate that a piece from one map (shot under one gamma setting) was pasted onto a map (shot under another gamma seeting). It's more green on one side of the line and more blue on the other. However, there are other vertical and horizontal lines in the suspect map that remind me of the way some programs (like Corel for instance) compress files, but you usually see a pattern in that case, and there's no clear pattern here. The line closest to the land mass is the most extreme, and I can see a corner there (bottom right) in fact that looks like it's a piece pasted over.
Additionally, I have seen land masses not look the same shape after defogging, but not to the degree of this one. It's extreme.
I also was thinking the photoshopping was bad because way too much of the ocean was unfogged, but if there was a bug that let people walk out that far, that would explain it.
