Just some tweaking/sharpening/registering. The beauty of raw images where you see a gray object (such as Enceladus here) is the automatic contrast stretcher on the raw site practically prepares the images for you since Enceladus really is white. That's why both our versions look very similar. There’s really not that much advanced magic when producing images like these from red/green/blue filtered stuff.

There's a third moon visible below Enceladus and inside the F ring. I now believe it's Atlas judging by the size.
