JAXA images are computer generated 3D images.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) have successfully performed the world's first high-definition image taking by the lunar explorer "KAGUYA" (SELENE,) which was injected into a lunar orbit at an altitude of about 100 km on October 18, 2007, (Japan Standard Time. Following times and dates are all JST.)
The image shooting was carried out by the [color=gold]onboard high definition television (HDTV) of the KAGUYA, and it is the world's first high definition image data acquisition of the Moon from an altitude about 100 kilometers away from the Moon.

Did they have that software back in the 70s?
Peace out.
Kaguya had several cameras, the best for what you are trying to do was the Terrain Camera, that took very good 10 metres per pixel photos. Many (or all, I don't know) of those photos are available on Jaxa's site, I downloaded some of those.

I see we have someone here who has absolutely no idea. JAXA images are computer generated 3D images. These are not photographs.
You Don't Need Photoshop to make fake NASA images
