Would be hard to make a "fake" pluto texture? (trying to enhance the side with lower quality)

I can do that, i'll just wait a bit till the good stuff is sent back.

pluto and charon:
From what I understand, this is not a single frame image but a composite. Legend say : Full-frame observations from July 13 and 14, in approximate natural color, with relative sizes, albedos, and separation represented.

Context for the frozen plains of Pluto image:

The people at the planetary society are doing a great job with the pictures.

Here you have the best mosaic of Sputnik planum that we have (click and watch it in High res)


Norgay Montes with the compositional color map overlayed


Norgay Montes in real color


Pluto in color


The northest region of Sputnik Planum has strange features (radial ones for example)


Some parts of this region reminds me of convection cells in stellar surfaces (granulation) but with exotic ices


Nitrogen glaciers wriggle around in the transition zone beetwen dark and white terrain in this color image of Sputnik Planum


And another close-up view of Charon
