First, there's a landing site overview (full version 152 KB).

Spirit on Sol 6:

or we could use the name of the "stone giant" from Never ending Story (sorry, I do not recall it, but someone posted his name some time ago).

Rockbiter? It's a good likeness -

It will also give the SFX'ers a chance to talk technique.

Okay Astro0, would you burn me a CS2 copy?

Nothing is over. I agree with Marco: "We want more like this!!!"

I'm pretty sure you were joking, however, I know that no one on UMSF would support the practice of ever pirating software.

If you'd like to start practicing these photo editing techniques, can I suggest you get your hands on a copy of Photoshop LE (which often is provided as an add-on with various software packages) or download any number of other free editor versions of software such as PrintShop or even some of the early versions of CorelDraw. Certainly Adobe Photoshop is the preference if you can get a bonafide edition.

What have you been using up until now?

BTW, I hope you don't mind that I have added a revised version of the image you originally conceived and to which I added shadows etc and placed that on my website. I have credited you on the site as well as the image.

There will be new MERSFX images coming up soon, plus a special edition that I'm working on for SS

Cheers

Only GIMP and PhotoImpact, Corel Draw is not installed.

Again and again I ask myself: How you fade away these rover tracks. So Perfectly!

Re: the sinkhole discussion up above... especially Bob's comment...

Eagle's raised rim is the evidence I'd use for its impact origin. The relatively weak rocks and maybe 50 cm of debris overlying them (absorbing shock) could easily account for the lack of shock effects in the visible rocks, not to mention a long period of weathering and also the possibility it could be a secondary (less shock to begin with).

Quoting from Grotzinger et.al. in EPSL

"To obtain true stratigraphic thicknesses, one must be able to correct for deformation of strata associated with folding, faulting, and brecciation due to impact. At Eagle, Anatolia, and Fram the bedrock is fractured and consists of rotated blocks. In general, systematic deformation patterns are absent, which precludes ordering of the stratigraphy at those locations. Exceptions to this are the El Capitan and Big Bend areas of Eagle crater, where strata can be traced laterally for several meters as mostly intact units"

Welcome to IPTG club, guys! (Image Processing Therapy Group)

Hello everyone, my name's Imipak, and... I'm a Mars addict.

Astro0 -- remember, your 'sad' hobby is not just keeping you off the streets but the exercise of your creativity is giving a lot of pleasure to me, and everyone else I'm sure. And - seeing as I seem to be in 'yer-me-bestest-mate' mode *) - I'd like to say a huige thank-you to everyone who's posting imagery here. I love it all! In fact I enjoy images that get worked-on and improved most of all. Single pancam shots of a patch of sand looks fantastic to me, afte 12 years waiting for Pathfinder! A simple two or three shot pan is even better, but seeing others then get more out of those already stunning pics is fascinating. And inspiring... (it's inspiring me into thinking it's time I finally retired this P2 to file server duties and bought a new computer and a couple of nice flat screens... hmmm and MMB is written in Java, and GPL'd, and reading other people's code is always interesting. Yes, my (other) idea of fun is reading other people's source code )
