| I attempted to make true-color edits of the latest Charon and Pluto enhanced color mosaics. Charon turned out better than Pluto IMO, but for a quick attempt I'm happy with both. Click for full res.

| Franz, what bump height values do you use? I'm trying to make normal maps of your textures for use in Celestia, although I don't know which would be the best values to use. 
Specs: Dell Inspiron 5547 (Laptop); 8 gigabytes of RAM; Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz; Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (That's all there is :( )

using a shaded image as a height map , never works out well
once the Pluto / Charon STEREO images are released a heightmap will be released
but for only about 1/2 of the small body that was imaged
Now Charon works well for using some ( shape from shade) SFS
but Pluto -- stereo data ONLY for the most part
see the UnmanedSpaceflight forum for the 3d renders of the jpg's that nasa posted

-- best image for using SFS so far

Pluto is so UN UNIFORM in it's Albedo
a EARLY trial picking the BEST image to use

this did NOT turn out well

| ANOTHER UPDATE
Look at the mosaic:
https://www.nasa.gov/sites....ers.jpg
Will HarbingerDawn colorized this mosaic and post it?
Won't post actual image to the post because it's too big.

| Planets cleared their orbits of comparably massed bodies, making them unique in their orbital space [this is what this part of the IAU definition of planet actually means]. Pluto hasn't achieved this. It is a member of a large number of very similar objects -- the Kuiper Belt.
Pluto is my favorite object in the solar system though. Cold, distant, but with incredibly fascinating geology and atmosphere.

| Pluto is my favorite planet No matter what they say, I don't care ALL PLANETS haven't cleared there orbits, look at the near earth asteroids. Pluto and ceres are planets to me , a planet of every type (rocky,asteroid like, gas,ice dwarf) The new images are cool, how are those images NOT of a planet?! They gotta rethink the definetion and set a size limit, classify by size not by location! at least a size of 2000 Km for objects that may be discovered in the future.
