After having discovered the proper calibration process for the black&white CTX images (thanks again
to slinted, cartrite and others for the valuable contributions !) I found that many of the cleaned up CTX images with the increased dynmiac range are
very well suited candidates for artificial colorization. Here are the first results:

A martian polar dust storm over ice dunes


and a crater landscape with central mountains:



Please keep in mind that, as always with artificial colorization, the colors, although I usually do base the palettes on "real" color images of similar areas with similar surface composition, are, of course not intended to reflect the "true colors" but rather be understood as a kind of "artitst impression"

I'm enjoying these too, but I expected the dust clouds to look yellower, relative to the surface. Have I been looking at too many Chesley Bonestell paintings?
