I'm not sure that those filter combinations will be more helpful than the one I posted. We need something that specifically targets the infrared fingerprint of hematite, like this image of Snout in Eagle Crater. I'm waiting for a good R5 so I can make one of those.

I'll see how those steps translate to Paintshop Pro.
My observation is that the L257 and R721 may be useful in separatring the various members of te iron (III) oxide-hydroxide family. Hematite tends towards blue while limonite tends towards yellow. Of course, without a spectrophotometer with the MER filters and a set of reference samples, this is just a casual observation. --Bill -------------------- |
