I expect competitive multiplayer to shift towards dedicated locked down gaming distros (such as steamos) that will offer fully signed hardware backed (tpm) remote attestable system for anti-cheats. Which will make casually playing such game

My recommendation is that do not bother to try thinking too hard about Mars image colors, it's deep and ultimately unsatisfactory rabbithole, just enjoy the pictures as they are. Here is another rendering of the same raw data: https:&

I think the key insight here is that 243 is 100000 in base3. So dividing by 243 essentially converts any 5 digit base 3 number to [0,1) interval. Multiplying by 256 converts it to [0,256) interval which conveniently fits into a byte.

for lot of image processing linearizing srgb is only half-way measure, and you might want to reach for a better colorspace altogether. cielab is obvious example, or maybe oklab/jzazbz/xyb/something else.
