ArMaP, you don't like photo-editing, so what are you on about with colour?
I am talking about the false colour composites made with different
wavelengths. They may be useless to know how colours are but they are good (and that is the reason for their existence) to show different
materials.
This image, for example, was made with the L2 (infrared), L5 (green) and L7 (ultraviolet) images, with just a small reduction of the red tint, to make
it more noticeable.
This is the original image (click it to see it in its full size), without any alterations, just the composite of those three images.
Your references only include NASA, and their occasional--AND SO BAD EDITING!!!-- filters as colours, well how do you trust this.
If you
could show me any other source of Mars images taken on the ground I would gladly use them, but considering that NASA is the only one (as far as I
know) organisation with a working presence on Mars' surface, those are the only photos with which I can work.
As for bad editing, I have never seen any signs of bad editing (or just bad enough to be noticeable) on Mars photos, and for the colour photos I
prefer to make them myself with the separated images for each wavelength.
And I don't judge members at posts, I am not a judge, if I was SOME CHILDREN would get more JUSTICE and also, some criminals wouldn't get
away with what they do, if I was a judge, believe me there WOULD be some DECENT enquiry about a few things that pass as 'OK' in this world. Over my
DEAD BODY if it 'requires', I don't mess up with Children-RIGHTS for one.
I don't judge anyone, specially those I never met in person, that
is why I always try to answer all posts with my best attitude (although sometimes I fail to keep my head as cool as I should), and even members that
post things that I think are completely out of focus with the reality have the same treatment as those that share my opinions, I try not to focus on
the person posting but on what that person wrote and not on the way he/she wrote it, that is the only thing we can use on a forum like this.
On my friends e-lists I 'm the only judge and forgive me, usually i know it straight away, yet I change my mind...ChCh is a friend now for
example, cause she's got potential.
That is your way of doing things, I respect it and I do not have any problem with that.
My way is a little different, to me friendship is something that we must earn from other people, so I try my best to earn other people's respect and,
if possible, friendship. This may have the side effect of getting me less friends than I could get in other ways, but they are people I really
consider friends, and friendship should be forever, if true.
I don't like my sentences to be dissectected at every comma, and commented on,if I was a police-suspect I would agree, totally, for I would
benefit from it, but never in my life I deserved to be judged by some poster I don't know, I like straight replies from the soul.
That I can
confirm as a known problem with my way of talking and writing, as I hate misunderstandings I always try to know exactly what other people mean with
what they say.
When those people speak (or write) in a language with which I have some understanding problems, my problem gets worse, that is why I sometimes have to
ask people to rephrase their posts. Also, different people write in different ways, and that is one more thing that affects my understanding of what
is written, there is one ATS member (that has not participated in this thread) that writes in a way that I almost never understand, I think I have
only understood some 10 or 12 of his (or hers) posts.
..and when I send them u2u's to say hello and they don't even bother replying, I can't put them back onto 'neutral', but, see it, I can't
consider them as friends either.
I agree, but maybe another U2U could clear those situations.
I know that I have neglected some U2Us in the past, so it's not a surprise if I did it to you, but if I did not answer it was because of one of two
possible reasons: 1- I did not knew what to say (it happens many times); 2- I forgot about it, I usually see if I have U2Us when I wake up and at my
lunch break, but I do not have time to answer them (and my attempts have shown that the posts I made on those occasions are badly written and more
confusing than normal, writing takes me a lot of time, I have been writing this post for more than 30 minutes), I can only answer any U2U or post when
I get home at the end of the day, and if I see something that I think needs a more urgent reply I may forget posts and/or U2Us that I have seen during
the day.
I mean, unless you would show me serious signs of being friends, as opposite from, 'against'...With some People it only takes a reading of a
few words, an invitATION, AN acceptance, and I know that they are good Souls, & I know that they'll be e-friends. (yet, I will never meet them, or I
should be so lucky!).
Friends can have different opinions, opinions are just part of what a personality shows to the world, and friendship
applies to the whole of the personality. And friends should show where they think their friends are wrong, by pointing what they think is their
mistake.
Sometimes it works, just getting the feeling...but after so many times of discouragement, no, unless you u2u me different, I think you are
determined to SYSTEMATICALLY GO AGAINST EVERYTHING I PRINT!
I do not go against what you write, I am just trying to show you that your
interpretation may be based on wrong assumptions. That does not mean that I know that I am right (I don't), but I obviously agree with my own
opinion, so that is the one I try to show other people.
If those people ignore what I say I do not know if they just did not saw the post (it happens a lot) or if they saw it and just decided not to answer
it because of some reason (maybe they did not thought it good enough), but as I do not have any way of knowing what other people think I repeat my
answer if the same statement (or another statement based on that) is made.
If you had genuinely opened your mind to us in the meantime, ignore my message please, but seen what you say on my thread "MARTIAN-MADE
STRUCTURES...", and sorry I get dizzy with your dissectations of sentences, it reminds me of being on a torture chamber, in some books etc, real
refs if you ask, see 1933Germany--AND I have German Friends--so don't be mistaken, just, if you go on with your dissectations chambers, i will not
read. already started the process! 
Well, I still read all of what you write on the threads I am participating, even when written in ALL
CAPS, with references to unrelated subjects and/or written in a way with which I am not familiar and that makes me read it three or four times before
I understand (I think I understand) what you wrote.
PS: maybe I should have addressed the more personal points on a U2U, but as this was an answer to a post I thought it better to post it here, even if
it is off-topic. I promise I will try to keep off-topic material to a minimum.
PPS: an update on the time it took to me to write this post, 50 minutes, that is why I post less than I could (but maybe more than most people want me
to post
)
Can you give some more inputs of how big this is and its dimensions?? If you or anyone can get that ;
it will be great..
