I did see that. But it wasn't on that site first. I beleive it was in the news. I haven't the slightest idea what that thing is but Skipper wasn't the first to expose it. As far as my favorite photo goes, it is just a matter of rotation and color changes to get the result. If that is treatment than it is what it is. If my friend can replicate the procedure, anyone with the right program can probably do the same. If it is compression artifacts than I would like to see someone show me a similar outcome. I make no claims other than that is my favorite martian picture.
