"you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free"

Great Robert! Now all my photos can be mars photos!

I've been thinking of a way to narrow ordinary photos to the bandwidths and wavelengths of the pancam to see what the rover sees. As an example of the effects of only using some 37% o' the visable spectrum.

Now I don't have to! I can take any stupid rock picture (I've got hundreds) and turn it into the authentic color of mars anytime I want! So Cool!

Here, let's try it on a photo of a proterozoic nodular sillimanite gneiss from Colorado:

That works great! Thanks again for the color combining instructions, even though they are useless now that I've got Hue Value 19! Sounds like the name of another rock band. Or the name of future mars missions: HEX BE7840.
