Basil Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Re: Bonestell Panorama Why is it red? Has it been tinted? Well, as it says, "The image color has been closely matched to what a human would see," so that may be a "yes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusterBoy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Re: Bonestell Panorama That's a wonderful image, it really is. In response to the business of tinting - I heard that the Martian sky in the original Viking photos was tinited blue, apparently because it was thought that no-one would believe in/be interested in a planet with a pale-orangey sky.
