filters that improve photos
 

Hey photoshop guys & girls, i've got some 700x480 video screenshots from dvd's that I need to run filters over to improve the quality. I currently just deinterlace then I up the contrast and brightness on the pics 10% each. But the quality is still not as good as I'd like. Are there filters to automaticly kind of airbrush pictures or to use blur and then sharpen to help improve quality and remove graininess???

thanks for the help

Close Photoshop.
Load up Paint Shop Pro 8
Run the "one step photo fix" script.

Try Unsharp Mask

Sorry if this sounds like thread jacking but does someone know how to remove dust and imperfections from an image? Sharpen and stuff is nice but clearly there must be a better way!

Improving picture quality can be a problem. I usually just do the same as you.
