| Let's
try something different. We will begin with a wide view and move in by
stages to a close-up look. Also, I'll use both the small
and the full size versions of the original so you can get a
better idea of the actual difference in available detail. Much
of the time, the browse version is probably the
better choice for enhancement... it is definitely possible
to zoom in too
far to see the contents of
the scene. Maybe this will help clarify the topic of size
and how it relates to the Martian landscape- and the ubiquitous
displays.

The
lower right corner of PSP_1364_1715. See the little white
thready thing?

Now,
if I rotate the image so that the arrow would be pointing up,
and enhance the "browse" version , we get this. Pretty
cool. Makes me wish it was feasible to work with a larger piece
of the whole thing.. See the "thread" at top center?
Actually, I think it's a road, but let's not worry about that
right now. |

We
move in closer, still using the browse version of the image.
Should I mention the bored-looking Sphinx in the approximate
middle, or not? Our destination is up near the faces at top
center, though. But some of you still probably think there
are no Faces on Mars, so perhaps we will just continue on.
Stubborn, huh? How's that working out for you so far ? |

We switch to
the full version of the original now, having pretty much reached
the limit on the browse version for basic enhancement. There is
a slight shift in color balance between the two files, which I
left uncorrected, in case that offers any technical insight to
anyone about the native stability of the processing. At
this point you should be able to spot our Lady of the Serpentine
Locks, just to the left of the "thread". Not
that you should limit yourself... there is all kinds of neat
stuff there. |

Finally.,
let's switch to thumbnails for the last two, because they are
fairly big. The one to the left will get you a closer look, and
the one to the right will get you an almost full res close up. |

Hold onto the notion of scale, for when we cover the
mechanics of perception and how to view what the Martians left behind.
But the tour continues, first...
