Indian Express:Pluto:True color

From the article:

For starters, NASA confirmed that those loved coloured pictures were indeed in true colour and not exaggerated. When asked “How close to true colour are the colour images returned so far? This image released today looks incredible, but is it true colour, or has the colour been exaggerated?,” NASA’s Jillian Redfern replied, “Yes it was true color!” To that Kelsi Singer from NASA added, “Yes, we tried to get it as close to real color as possible :). We combine the wavelengths that we have and translate it into what the human eye would see.”

Although the text you cited mentions ‘enhanced”, the article posted below very emphatically claims that the image is in true color. What is referred to as being “enhanced” is something I myself need explaining to.

Thank you for posting.

I wish I could frame that photo. I love it, I want it in my apt. It’s stunning and breathtaking,

Enhancement could be a composite of several images to improve resolution without changing the color values.

Jackson Pollock was there.

NASA's resident expert on color properties and their display features checks in on Free Republic and provides official elucidation and scientific validation on the true nature of Pluto's colors.

Thank you, Dr. Woods

So, what’s stopping you from framing it? Any decent frame is $2-3. I could post the highest resolution of the image
online and have you copy it. If your copier doesn’t print as high resolution as needed, Kinko’s or other similar outlets can and will cost you another few bucks. No big deal.

Mmmm

"Iron oxide, IE rust, IF it’s ironish."

If IE that means there must be Oxygen? Maybe the socialists can colonize the place with all the entitled people.

I actually don’t own a printer. However the Kinkos idea is solid. Then I can take it to a frame store to have it matted and framed.

Very good ideas. I must have had a brain freeze, it’s been a long week.

This is pretty big for a picture with a frame. But I think it would be exactly what you're looking for. It took a while to download the size of the image with the high resolution that it is, but I think you should definitely make a copy of it at Kinko's and there you have it.

Thank you, Sir. I’m going to do this on Saturday!

Love the Pluto pings.

I had to do it again because the right side of the image was not even. A bit smaller but better proportioned.

[lbryce]

I still prefer the larger image on top. Just ask the clerk to shave off the edge. To have the Kinko's guy present the image to you on paper, either
1. Download the image onto a flash drive and have him download it on a Kinko's computer
2. An easier way would be to simply give him the url of the image and let him take it from there.

Wasn’t the surface of Titan red as well?

[lbryce]

There's a mark right in the center of Pluto that is from the image creating process and not a natural phenomena. Ask him to mask it with the same color adjacent.

One more thing. Please kindly update me on how the process went. I' am very curious how it all comes out. (Perfectly I'm sure.) Good Luck
