Best Freeze Frame Images?

[Steve Eisen]

Do not expect high quality images from a video frame. Unfortunately the highest native resolution from a frame is 72 dpi. You can change the resolution in photoshop but it will not make the image any better.

If you are working with interlaced video, you will need to apply a deinterlace filter to it.

If you have any motion in the video, you will get a lot of motion blur in you freeze frame.

Yes, as Steve say.
There are some plugins for Photoshop that can upsize the picture with amazing results.

I’ve never used this, but it looks like it might be able to scale a 72 dpi image up to 300 dpi. https://www.benvista.com/main/content/content.php?page=ourproducts&section=photozoompro_1

I tried the sample version of PhotoZoom Pro 2 and couldn’t see any difference. Is there some trick to using this program?

You open it in PhotoZoomPro and change the image resolution to like 300dpi. The application processes the image. You do a save as.

Simplest way is to export as TIFF not jpeg. Much larger file.

Good luck,

Hi,

I am quite new in the “video” world, so I might say some nonsense..

I am wondering why the maximum is 72dpi for video even at highest resolution.
Is there a technological limitation?

So, what does it change from 2K and 1080p for example if I keep the same FOV of my GoPro?
In principle I was expecting to get higher resolution (pixel/inch ) on the horizontal axis for example.
Almost double than 1080p.
But if the pixel/inch is fixed to 72 than what’s changing?
I mean, if I get the same number of pixel to reconstruct the image of the same dimension (same FOV)
what is changing form 2K and 1080?

Once again, sorry for the maybe “studio” question , the answer might be hidden in the decoding
action on the different video, but honestly I do not know.

Thank you for any explanation

Max
