A little humor
Modifoo has posted Over 30 things we can learn from Hollywood movies. It’s very funny. Being a graphics geek, I really can appreciate number thirty.
30. It is incredible simple to enlarge a blurry picture to reveal new details.
TV cop shows are horrible about this too. It’s amazing how they can turn six pixels worth of information from the original image into a man wearing jeans, a white shirt, blue jeans, a broken wrist watch, and white Nike shoes with the left shoe untied. Maybe if I use PhotoShop for another ten years, I’ll figure out how they do that.
I know that people love the CSI franchise, but to me it’s only good for the humor value. The whole show is analogous to the blurry picture enlargement.

You mean you didn’t know about the CSI/24 plug-in for Photoshop. Well, it’s government property and top secret, so you best burn this comment before you are caught ;)
Thanks for the link-love

I’d not heard of the CSI/24 plug-in, but I did hear Grissom ask someone to “Despeckle” something on CSI once, so apparently they were using PhotoShop.

Damn javascript, I never get the self destruct code right.
Glad to hear that I helped your traffic a bit. You deserved it, it was a great post.
