Mona's from Mars, Photoshop's from Venus

Photoshop's use in the sciences has been getting some good press lately:

Space.com talks about Photoshop being used to bring new data out of 25-year-old Soviet footage from Venus. [Via]
Wired has a story about scientists analyzing the Mona Lisa's smile using, among other things, the app's Gaussian Blur filter. [Via]
Lockergnome talks about the tools being used to restore a 700-year-old sacred Hindu text.

(See the Science & Tech category for more stories.)

[Very true, but Photoshop 6 was "Venus in Furs," so we swing that way, too. ;-)]
