PhotoAcute: Extract High Quality Photos from Video

by Staff Writer

PhotoAcute Logo

PhotoAcute v.2.10 is now capable of extracting high-quality pictures from digital video. The company who makes it says the software uses several consecutive frames to create high-resolution and low-noise picture that is much better than the single frame.

The $49 app has a simple and intuitive interface and is quite easy to use according to photoacute.com, and it produces high quality photos by increasing spatial resolution without losing details or distorting the image.

This would be quite useful, not just for Dad who wants some snippets from the family video, but also for White House newsmen at times when the president does not want them to take his pictures but hands out his own staged photo.

I mean, what self-respecting newsman would want to use this stiff photo at left of a president who was supposed to be addressing the nation about the war in Iraq?

The news wires and other agencies instead used some frame grabs from their video footages to accompany their story about the president’s speech. Low quality, of course, because they haven’t heard yet about PhotoAcute Studio v.2.10.
