Filters or not, that “new” image from Venus looked far better than the choppy and split mosaic of the original.

Yes, it did. Could it have been digitally enhanced?

Above is a link to a “factcheck” site that talks about the image. There is a bit of description of how the newer image was created.

If I understand it properly, the original image was from directly overhead and looking down? Or some oblique angle?? (It was confusing to me). And the recent image transformed it into a “photo” as taken from the lander??

What I thought was interesting how they call the image a “fake”. I guess the guy that did all of the recent manipulation on it left it as a black and white image, and others on twitter grabbed the image and colorized it. I’m not sure if because of the colorization it was a fake or because the guy manipulated it.
