The image is so goddamn blurry and grainy. Someone evidently took a screen cap off You Tube (at the lowest Resolution they could find) and stuck it in.

And they botched the code, to boot. I'll see if I can find a higher-quality screencap to replace it.

Also, it's a weird ass crop to avoid including The Hub's bug in the image.

I switched it out for a slightly higher quality version. It's actually really tough to get a good frame from that scene. The Hub bug is back in the corner, but it doesn't screw up the composition that much.

Better though still blurry.

Way better now. I can live with it.

[up][up]I was using a high def video, too. That scene as a whole is just kinda foggy.

I'm fine with the new version of the pic.

[up] Smaller and blurrier.

Yeah, that's too small to be of good use for the page.

Bump...I'm good to lock this, unless anyone's got another suggestion they want to make.

If you're willing to wait maybe 10 hours (I need to sleep), I can try to make a higher-quality one, and edit the Hub logo out.

Quality swaps are free. Do it when you get a chance.

I think we can all agree that this is an improvement. And it's a YouTube screencap, too.

EDIT: The version I've put on the page has been sharpened to reduce the blurriness. If you want to do a comparison, it's here.

The sharpened version is over sharpened and worse than the one you have in the thread.

[up][up]I tried sharpening and upping the contrast, and generally playing around with it to get it less blurry, but I couldn't get it any better than the one I already posted. It's either slightly blurry or obviously filtered.

I much prefer the unsharpened version.
