The One That Got Away

Hi John

The pix of The One That Got Away are much better than mine which leads me to ask, in curiosity, did you find a copy of the movie and grab them yourself?

..............yes. I've plugged in the VHS recorder to the computer, on which I have a very old copy of Pinnacle, a TV playing programme with a "frame grabbing" ability. But many of the free phoo/video enhancement/editing progs have a frame grabbing ability built in , I believe.

I then open the pics in Photoshop, hit Mode / greyscale to make them black and white, then image/size to make the width 420, and then enhance the brightness/contrast so that there is just a white, and just a black somewhere in the picture, and the rest of the tones then fall into place.

Did you use your obviously much better editing equipment to enhance them as they look great?

...........no, no fancy equipment, an old computer and only an old copy of Photoshop.

On another matter, I still have the films I promised you but will try to get them off soon. They include so far:
ON THE FIDDLE ( WITH A NICE 40S TRAVELOGUE AT THE END "THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND.")
SABOTAGE AGENT
I THANK YOU (A Askey)
IDOL ON PARADE AND
MIRANDA.

.............Thanks Roy, I am waiting with bated breath

John

Cheers
