I am new to this forum and don't yet know how to post a photo. In the meantime, on the weekend I will post the ESA's identifying name and numbers
so folks who are interested can download a given photo, and I will point out some areas that show airbrushing and blurring.
There has been much discussion about the appearance of a city in Halle crater, but I don't think that is the most remarkable thing about the photo.
It's most prominent feature is the software based 'carpeting' that covers the floor of the crater, largely obscuring what is beneath it:
"you'll need to first loose the pretty, highly reflective but obscuring haze and ESA colors by converting to standard black and white grayscale
format as well as invert the image. This will partially defeat the obfuscating top layer and better reveal the evidence. Then proceed with darkening
and contrast work to clarify and then add color if you wish."
