This cab has a very distinctive radiator. Someone should be able to identify it.

Done: http://www.imcdb.org/movie_35317-Sherlock-Holmes-and-the-Secret-Weapon.html

I brightened the pics just a little to make the cars more visible.

Raul1983, if you will give me the 'stars' for these cars I will add them.

As picture were already heavily compressed, they lose even more details to resave them :ohwell: Well, that's not a major problem, as the car are more visible once you corrected the contrast/light of the pictures :wink:


Raul1983 >> for future pictures you may compress them a little less? What program and settings do you currently use?

I worried about that but I checked both ways and it seemed better to brighten them a little.

OK, here's how it goes. Step by step.

1. I play the movie in QuickTime Player

2. I stop the picture and use PrintScreen button

3. I open the picture in Word and enlarge it a bit (for
some reason the picture goes smaller)

4. I copy the picture to Paint -program and save it there. The
picture is still bmp.format.

5. Then I open the picture in Canon CanoCraft CSP 3.7 image program
and then cut the picture from it's backround. Now I save it again
and it transformes to jpg.format. I have to use Paint -program
so that I can open the picture in CanoCraft.

Perhaps not the best method but it is how I do it. No magic about it :grin:

You can't paste the picture directly in your Canon program?
I wonder why you need to go to Word :confused: No need to enlarge the picture, if you set the QuickTime window to 100% of movie size, it will get that size I suppose.
It is usually easier to make the capture with a video player that can directly save the picture, like Media Player Classic or BSPlayer. Usually it is better to save to BMP with these program, so you can convert the picture to JPEG only in the end, when you removed black borders if there are any for example.
What settings can you choose when you convert to JPEG? That's actually the "problem": the pictures seem a little too much compressed, you could maybe compress them a little lower.
