you can de-interlace in Photoshop

I saw a tutorial on it. Looked interesting, but didn't read through it. Wanted to be sure it was the right tool for the job.

Final cut can handle it if you are into video. I prefer the astronomy stuff that is more geared to quality over speed. When you have small angular specks way the F far away you need scientific grade processing not entertainment grade processing.

You'd have me beat, then. I'm still sporting the CS5 suite on my home laptop and the CC suite on my work laptop. What you're talking about sounds way more powerful than those.

if we put Biggles, Mike and Bart in the same room we could have our very own NSA and sharks with lazers.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

What is the status of Groghead Island BTW? We have to order grass skirts for the staff. Maybe coconut bras too.

We only need one skirt and one bra. Gus doesn't need more than that.

Run your video through something like registax. It was designed to get detail out of blurry astro images shot through the atmosphere. Deinterlace, sharpen with wavlets. Output your best frame (or stack frames if he stays still for a while) using lanczos 200%. Then take that image into a deconvolution program like image magic or images plus.


You will be surprised what you can get out.
The police will have a file or several of local thugs/felons, along with their photos. Once you have a clear photo get it to the police. Don't accept excuses, and escalate a complaint upwards if you are ignored. The police are there to do a job and a formal complaint focuses the mind. I know they have their photo albums, because I had to try to identify someone flashing at the local Park when I'd taken my then 5 yo daughter there. I looked through a file of about 60 of the usual suspects. If you have a clear photo, it is very easy for the police to check it against their files. Most thieves are known to the police. The only problem you might have with id is if it is a policeman stealing the bike. Most are good but you get the odd bad 'un. Even if the thief is unknown, chances are they'll know the fences.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
