http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/hires.html is where you can find them, courtesy of
David Seal's Maps of the Solar System pages, themselves part of the
excellent A Space Library.  Be warned, though, as the files really are
B-I-G.  26MB, 21MB and 17MB for the red, green and blue images respectively.

I've scaled them down to 25% of the original size and they're still good to
work with.

Hope this helps,
