Looks nice! I noticed that at the bottom of the page there is an e-mail sign up box that says: "Don't See Your Favorite Place? Know when we release new maps." Now I know e-mail sign up forms usually come canned in a bit of javascript, but it sure seems like it would help if people signing up could also include a place they would like to see. I'm not in the market for this kind of thing but I was hoping they would have the San Francisco Bay Area on there. Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay would be cool too. Definitely want the bathymetry on those ones. I thought the bathymetry was a nice touch.

It seems like the last "Improving the color" step is what gives most of the atheistic effects (by comparing the second last picture and the final result on the top). Unfortunately the explanation for that step is only a few sentences..

Bump the contrast and saturation and you'll be pretty close I reckon.
