btw false color would fall into that
I still would like a source on that statement, I'm 99% sure you just made it up.
I'm literally going into cosmology so I probably have done far more research than you already
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It is not my intention to antagonise you. I am just sharing what I have learned about how images of earth are created.
To quote the article I am about to give you: 'The problem, Simmon said, is all the NASA earth-observing satellites are in low-earth or geostationary orbit, meaning none of them are far enough away to see a full hemisphere. The most familiar pictures of the entire Earth are from the 1960s and 1970s Apollo missions to the moon.'
So, when you read the article you will see that he uses photoshop a large amount in his process.
To quote you 'Photoshop is commonly used to crop' and I am simply letting you know that my limited research has led me to believe it is used for more than just cropping.
Enjoy the article and I sincerely wish you the best with your career in cosmology.
