A friend in France, Editor-in-Chief of a the biggest nationwide Astronomy magazine (the French eq. of S&T in the US), was dreaming about the b&w mosaic posted by JPL :
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/pre.../20040707a.html

He wanted to see it in full color.
He gave me this work as a challenge to test my imaging skills...
Of course, he insisted to see Gusev's rim at the horizon...

Indeed, taken at a local 10:35 am with low opacity of the atmosphere, the images are too much saturated. And the onboard camera computer apparently tried its own compensation left to right !

After many corrections and homogenous transformations, here is the final pan for you to enjoy as wallpaper.

Has anyone obtained better results ?
