# Pixelated
As the images are the same dimensions, it makes sense to consider what could be done with the RBG values. Immediately, XOR springs to mind, and we make a quick script to XOR the pixel data:
```python
from PIL import Image
img1 = Image.open("scrambled1.png")
img2 = Image.open("scrambled2.png")
pixels1 = img1.load()
pixels2 = img2.load()
result_img = Image.new("RGB", img1.size)
result_pixels = result_img.load()
for x in range(img1.width):
for y in range(img1.height):
r1, g1, b1 = pixels1[x, y]
r2, g2, b2 = pixels2[x, y]
xor_r = r1 ^ r2
xor_g = g1 ^ g2
xor_b = b1 ^ b2
result_pixels[x, y] = (xor_r, xor_g, xor_b)
result_img.save("output.png")
```
This came up with an interesting `output.png`, which definitely had the flag in it, but was quite hard to read:
Clearly a flag, but hard to read
After some trial and error and printing of the values, you notice that pretty much everywhere is pure white. To up the contrast a little, we make all the white into black:
```python
if xor_r == xor_g == xor_b == 255:
xor_r = xor_g = xor_b = 0
```
And this was enough to spy the flag:
```
picoCTF{d562333d}
```
