Does anyone have a good image enhancing zoom tool??

I once read a post by Bruce Ammons that we could implementa an auto-focus routine by looking at the contrast ratio (?) and adjusting to optimize same.

Years ago I read an article in Model railroder where someone came up with an amazing method of getting incredibly sharp images of the models. They fixed the camera to the layout usinf rist surface mirrors to get the view from stnading at the trackside and then they took multiple images using different focal lengths. The images were then processed and the regions with the sharpest contrast were selected from teh collect and assembled into the final image. The depth of field was incredible and it looked like you were trackside.

I never did get around to writing that routine in LV.

Sounds similar to the HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. There is a lot of information online about it and some good software available to assemble the images. I have some filters in GIMP for doing HDR work. You can get some amazing photos that way.

Not sure it would help us find out what's under NI's cloth though.

This is completely off topic, but this bit from CSI just makes me laugh every time - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU

And it actually looks like the scene those images came from, and for good reason.

Using alfa1's time-scaling vector inversion coprocessor I managed to get this image...
