Don't know if I missed that this is already posted he Seems they
finally came to senses and publish the raw images from Cassini as they
become available

So where's the big freakin' color pictures...


A color picture can't be a raw image. All pictures are somewhat
black-and-white taken through some filters. Combining the right raw
pictures produces a color image.


Yeah, grayscale R, G & B or L, A & B or any off a plethora of others.
So what was your point? If they sent RAW r, g & b channels it would
be cake to combine them to form color images. If they in fact DID
take color pictures (spare me the diatribe about multiple CCDs or
CMOS, I know all that).
