I heard about this 24 hours ago, and couldn't believe it - this is EXACTLY what has been missing from ESA. MASSIVE kudos to the ESOC MEX flight ops team for doing it

Thanks, ormstont!
For those of you who've been doing work on the VMC images, have you developed any specific workflow for boosting the Mars-like color in these images? Is it just as simple as increasing the saturation or do you do any channel-specific processing? --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

For those of you who've been doing work on the VMC images, have you developed any specific workflow for boosting the Mars-like color in these images? Is it just as simple as increasing the saturation or do you do any channel-specific processing? (on vacation in Savannah, but secretly using the lobby computer...) IIRC, for most of the images I played with, I did a Gaussian blur to help eliminate the "spottiness" of the color blobs. I didn't do any funky channel mixing but I did adjust the saturation and hue, then adding Ted Stryk's half-phase Mars image as the reference and adjusting the individual color channel curves to try to make it match Ted's image. If there was a cloud I tried to balance it out as a whiter shade. -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
