[feature-request] Ability to toggle between "enhanced" and "non-enhanced" images

[Keith Hughitt]

Users would like to have the ability to toggle between "enhanced" and "non-enhanced" (i.e. raw) images. This will require modifying
the tile-production stream to produce both versions, and a UI component to allow the user to toggle between the two versions.

Another related idea would be to include LASCO images processed used both the conventional method, and the method currently used on HV.

Since it is not possible to store original images for all of SOHO/SDO, a better solution would be to request the original images and process them on the fly using something like IDLPrep, then serve them up.

Unclear what "enhanced" means. Another idea would be to include a simple sharpening feature like JHelioviewer does (unsharp mask). This could be done client side. If so, then the parameter(s) that control this would have to passed back to the server, and unsharp masking done again server side on the images. Also, the sharpening would probably have to be done on the original image *before* tiling to avoid edge effects on the tiles.

It might be simpler to have the sharpening operations done server side, and then send the sharpened tiles to the client. This way the images are ready for movie creation.
