Hi all,

just discovered NASA's top secret additional X-filter files for the hazcam.
So now I can do full color Hazcam-pictures
nah, just kidding of course...

Just like to share my latest colorizing project:
this remarkable view with the Eyes of Spirit creeping
up the Hill...
(thank god this did not become the good-bye-roving image for Spirit:
seems that we got free of the sand-trap again !)

hope, not too red this time

Wow Nirgal they look great. Just out of curiosity how long does it take you to colour an image this size

spent the last 2 days on it ... where large part of the effort was to write
further improvements of my special software that assists me in the
colorizing process.
It's all still very experimental at this stage ...
but the results so far look promising.
Unfortunately, without multiple filter bands it's still a lot of manual handwork
ad involves excessive fine tunig with hundreds of different color hues...

but it's a lot of fun nevertheless ...
reminds me of the fun I had as a child with colorizing the painting book.

Now Mars is the new painting book
