Maybe it’s a secret government base. An alternative to Gitmo?

Altering photos to prove they’ve been altered?
LOL

I think it says “multipass”.

Altering photos to prove they’ve been altered? Adjusting lighting and contrast is not altering anything.

Don’t worry, I just opened photoshop to adjust the lighting and contrast “without altering anything”. LOL

"Adjusting lighting and contrast is not altering anything." Actually it is the very definition of altering something.
al·ter verb
1. to make or become different in some respect; change

Something odd has been going on with the Mars photos. I am quite familiar with Photoshop, having started with version 4.0 in the early ‘90s, and I have learned that each tool leaves some artifacts when you use it, if you know what to look for. When I looked at some of the photos from the Mars Rovers, I could see some rather obvious Photoshop manipulations using the smudge tool on some small details and objects. Why they did that, I have no idea.

Its a crappy photo to start with and it appears to be heavily pixelated which takes curves and makes them appear straight and sharp.

The magic of pixelation. Notice how it never turns straight lines into curved lines?

Adjusting lighting and contrast is not altering anything.
Anything that changes a photograph from its original appearance is an alteration of the characteristics of that photograph.

The idea that ‘pixellation’ could create the effects you see when you alter the contrast in that ESA image is idiotic.
To: wendy1946
Hint: You’re seeing jpeg artifacts overlayed over a 3d generated topology. Not that you will want to believe that though.
