I get into some of the darndest messes!
Monday, I will need to capture about 100 stills from a wedding video to print to paper. You guessed it...the photographer blew it! The video is full of really good shots, so selection will not be a problem.
I'm looking for an improved workflow that will better the quality. I'll have access to the original DV tapes (SD).
In the past, I've captured the still as a .png on the frame with the least obvious interlacing, pulled it into Photoshop, cropped, deinterlaced, adjusted levels, color, etc. and printed to high quality glossy paper. I plan to provide the lovely couple with the files, so they can have "photo" prints made at the corner drug store.
The inkjet prints will probably not exceed a 4"x6".
Can anyone offer suggestions as to how to make these low res pictures look better on paper. And while I have your attention, how do HDV captured stills look compared to printed SD pics? I would imagine much improved.
As always, thanks!
