Perseverance Imagery, technical discussion of processing, cameras, etc. Options

Putting this here, for reference as the payload of the JSON feed link for Perseverence raws (see source in other thread here)

Looks like there's a ton of good data in addition to just the (PNG! Bayer color separated!) images

This is for the first image shown on the page at the moment.

Here's hoping that one of you skilled characters can make good use...

Thank you very much The software has really come a long way since MER rovers, but those were more romantic times in exploration of Mars.
I was also intrigued by tau's processing, so I feel over the moon now for learning the procedure.
So the credit is all his. But I have several ideas how to apply this newfound knowledge to some datasets. Will be posting first result in short time.
