Please cite evidence of your assertion that light amplification is being employed.
Though much less energy reaches Mars than Earth, it is not THAT much farther away from the Sun in cosmological terms.
Now, Pluto is a different matter.
The light decreases with the square of the distance, that is why a candle can not iluminate a whole room, unless it is a very small room.
Acording to NASA:
The average solar intensity at the orbit of Mars is 590 W/m2, compared with 1370 W/m2 in Earth orbit
So, for the pictures to show anything worth viewing, they must show more light than we see, that is allways used in photography but people do not
notice it.
On Pluto, the light is 1/1000 of what we have here on Earth.
