Photoshop and Mars Rover Curiosity "Earth Filter"

Great article on the Photoshop filter NASA uses to help geologist identify pictures of Martian Rocks. Need a Mars white balance card.
Even the most casual fan of space travel would notice something funny about the latest image from the Mars Curiosity rover, as seen below. I mean, they call Mars the "Red Planet" for a reason, and here we are looking at blue rocks.
