The rover captured the panoramas of 'Marker Band Valley' on the red planet in April 2023.
Two shots from the morning and afternoon were stitched together with the different lighting illuminating more detail in the landscape.
Blue was added to the morning view and yellow to the afternoon side of the postcard to enhance the image.
"Anyone who's been to a national park knows the scene looks different in the morning than it does in the afternoon," NASA Curiosity engineer Doug Ellison said.
"Capturing two times of day provides dark shadows because the lighting is coming in from the left and the right.
The detail in the image was also sharpened thanks to it being winter at the rover's location providing lower airborne dust.

"Mars' shadows get sharper and deeper when there's low dust and softer when there's lots of dust," Mr Ellison said.
In the image parts of the rover can be seen including multiple antennas and the tracks it has left on the planet's surface.
The clear skies means a mountain outside a crater Curiosity is currently exploring can be seen on the horizon, despite being more than 100km away.
The Curiosity Rover has been exploring Mars for more than a decade.
Its mission is to explore whether Mars ever had the right environmental conditions to support small life forms, called microbes.
The rover's height has been compared to that of a basketball player and it carries science instruments, cameras, a laser and drill.
