"Midcourse maneuvers are performed to place the spacecraft into position for a proper entry into a precise, circular orbit, about 100-nautical miles (60 miles) above the lunar surface. At the proper time, the service module is ignited slowing the spacecraft so that it goes into the precise orbit."
Hand-highlighted areas are due to this photo having been used for news/press release purposes, and I'm assuming the printing technology of the time required it to enhance definition & delineation within the photo.
Gotta love the hi-rise, panoramic-windowed, highly impractical, surely hazardous, minion-appearance LEM configuration.
