Not really, this is the original photo.

Well I just pulled THIS photo off the NASA website  AS IS

10.02.2015
Mount Sharp Comes In Sharply
This composite image looking toward the higher regions of Mount Sharp was taken on September 9, 2015, by NASA's Curiosity rover. In the foreground -- about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the rover -- is a long ridge teeming with hematite, an iron oxide. Just beyond is an undulating plain rich in clay minerals. And just beyond that are a multitude of rounded buttes, all high in sulfate minerals. The changing mineralogy in these layers of Mount Sharp suggests a changing environment in early Mars, though all involve exposure to water billions of years ago. The Curiosity team hopes to be able to explore these diverse areas in the months and years ahead. Further back in the image are striking, light-toned cliffs in rock that may have formed in drier times and now is heavily eroded by winds.

They use the term 'White balanced" but we do that on all our photos too to get them to look right for posting on Ebay. Point is they do show them with blue sky now :P

"White balance" is the right term, as it means to change the colours to make white appear as white. And yes, they now do it more frequently then they did before, I suppose because many people post white balance images in many sites, me included. :)

Well shouldn't white appear as white?  LOL  Isn't that why they put a color chart on the Rovers?

Why would you want to make white look red and then try to convince people that is right  :P

Silly NASA   I still remeber the LAVA ORANGE they used for radar images of Venus  :P  And themn they wounder why no one takes NASA seriously?

Blue berries indeed... how very 'scientific'  :P
