Title:
Image Transformations-Mont serrat
Description:
A slightly oblique digital photograph of Montserrat taken from the International Space Station was posted to Earth Observatory in December 2001. An Earth Observatory reader used widely available software to correct the oblique perspective and adjust the color. The story of how he modified the image includes step-by-step instructions that can be applied to other photographs. Photographs of Earth taken by astronauts have shaped our view of the Earth and are part of our popular culture because NASA makes them easily accessible to the public.

The original image was digital photograph number ISS002-E-93 09, taken on July 9, 2001, from the International Space Station and was provided by the Ear th Sciences and Image Analysis Laboratory at Johnson Space Center. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NAS A-JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth.
