Thanks! Your full-size photo answers one question I had: I wasn't sure if those were hills at the top of the horizon arc in the stereo images -- or if they were arc-segment (scan line) artifacts resulting from the 72 ppi screen resolution.

If I weren't way out in the TX boonies at the end of a 24K (max) limp string, I would be downloading the raw Mars rover data and massaging it with NIH Image and Deneba/ACD's "Canvas", which is my real graphics workhorse (on both the Mac & PC). I was interested (but not surprised) to learn that the folks at JPL rely on Canvas (with its powerful transparent layering capabilities) for some of their compositing, etc.

BTW, I have been following the "how to view stereo pairs" discussion closely. I usually can anti-cross merge stereo pairs with ease. Those of yours that give me difficulty are usually so because the image centers are significantly wider apart than my (6.3 cm?) interpupillary distance. Downloading and downscaling them a bit usually fixes the problem... Or, I can resort to cross-merging -- which is a bit uncomfortable.

Of course, if you examine the trench image pair, you will see that only a small area is common to both images -- hence, all I see in stereo is just the center section of the trench.

Thanks again!
