There seem to be some real imaging wizards around here ( you know who you are ) and since my mosaicing skills can be summarized as: put one image next to the other, I wanted to ask you guys if you know of some good tutorials / tools on the subject.

For years now I have been trying to make mosaics out of Galileo images. There are many, many, many images that haven't been released on the 'general public' sites. Unfortunately the images do not align very well without projecting them properly. (see attached image)

I'd appreciate some pointers.

Thanks. I have really tried to make this image look good at a size that visually is presentable, as it is the only view of Amalthea with which one can do so without it looking blurry or artifically smooth (it shows the disk about 60 km across, while the next best views show it at about 34 pixels across in the same dimension). However, the original overexposed the bright regions, making it look crappy, and suffered from compression effects. I used a mix of two versions Galileo transmitted to mitigate the lack of clarity caused by enlarging the original image from 800x800 pixels to 1024x1024 pixels. This merging did a lot do de-emphasize artifacts. I also removed noise. There is an image of Thebe with nominally higher resolution (2.0 km/pixel compared to 2.4 km/pixel), but it is much noisier, losing its advantage. Eventually I hope to colorize this view using color data from Voyager and other Galileo orbits.
