Hi, it´s about the following conversation:

Me: Is this Mr. X?
Person from USA: "I saw your picture and I could tell from the second I saw it it´s not Mr. X."
Me: What you mean with "second I saw"?
Person from USA: It´s an expression
Person from USA: Like a second


What does "second" mean now?
a) He saw it on the very first picture in the first moment, so second = time second / moment
b) He saw it on the second picture

As I cant contact the person anymore I need your help. There can also be typing errors due to auto-correction and so on.

It's a reference to a unit of time--one second--and it means, in this context, immediately.
