OK I posted questions in the live dust devil topic and didn't get much response.
I have now done some tries at enhancements but I am not a Photoshop wizard.
I am getting close to the enhancements that JPL does but something is missing.
My images turn out grainy when I tweak the contrast. Here is the process.

1. select 2 images that are the same view, size and filter. (preferably one with dd and one without.)

2. invert (negative) one of the images.

3. select all on the inverted image

4. paste to the other non inverted image

5. decrease the opacity of the inverted image layer to 50%

6. merge visible

7. increase contrast (this is where things are going not quite right)

you now have an image that is only what has changed between images. (like dust devils or such)

Now you can take the image and place it back over the original to enhance the dust devil.

I would really appreciate it if somebody more adept at modifying images could tell me what I'm doing wrong and why my images don't look like jpl's. thanks

Wish I had more time to do this with all the frames and build a movie.
My earth rocks are getting in the way of my mars rocks *sigh*

Here are my attempts. One raw and another running it through a filter or two before combinding with the original.
