Just love this one. It's hard to enhance screen caps. They are usually such bad quality but you did a great job with this one.

Thanks. Screen caps ARE shit to enhance, but I've gotten a fairly good process together to do it.

Yes, screen caps are shit. But you do it well. I guess it takes a lot of practice. You inspire me to practice. Love your work.

Thanks. I was unemployed for a year and had plenty of time to refine my technique. *grin*
I learned a lot, and I'm happy to share. Just let me know.

Thanks for the offer of help. I might be calling on that. I just wondered how you get the screen caps to look so good? I have tried everything I know, which isn't much I admit. If you don't mind sharing.

I use a plug-in from Topaz called Denoise; it removes grainyness from screen caps far better than any other program I've tried. In fact, I highly recommend the entire Topaz Suite for Photoshop (any version). I use these filters constantly, for everything, and once you've tried them, you won't know how you got along without them.
I also use the Orton Technique (google it); this also smooths and evens out screen caps.
Finally, masking. To make sure I retain detail in areas that require it (eyes, hair, scruff), I mask, pulling detail from the original layer.
Not all screen caps will end up looking good. It depends on lighting and sharpness to start with, but I find I can almost always improve them in some way.

I found it on Zach's official web site. A member posted it. It may, in fact, be from the outtakes.
