Crofut & Knapp and the 1931 version of The Maltese Falcon...

OK, I'd just LOVE to know how you guys get those still pictures out of a movie. Is there a computer program that freezes the movie and downloads the still to your computer? I'd love to be able to do this with Bogart's Tokyo Joe.

I used VirtualDub to find and capture the frames I was after. After that, I brought the captured freeze frames into Photoshop and resized them, corrected the gamma curve to bring out the shadowy portions of the images and finally applied the Unsharp Mask filter with low settings.

Brim treatment aside, this similarity strikes me as remarkable.
