Synthetic colour

A lot of the panorama shots are coming as L2 & L7 only (plus some R filters for stereo work).

For those frustrated by the lack of colour images, here's my recipe:

Download the L2 and L7 images. These are Red and Blue. Concoct a synthetic green from (L2+L7)/2. I find a tweak is required to put a tad more green into it, but it's close.

Here is a sample synthetic colour from L2 & L7 only

Of course, neither is true colour, but we can begin to fiddle - lots less blue, a bit more red, and dial down the saturation a lot...
