I revisited Project: Earth for a while in January.  It's not as good as Home Jewel, but worth posting, I think.  I was testing different compositing techniques of the Earth, Cloud, and Atmosphere layers.

Post-processing:
Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.0

I gave it a Uniform Noise filter of 5% to give it a little grain.  I used a little Automatic Color Balance for some color correction and the Clarify tool to enhance the contrast.
