The multi-day Dark Shadows scene would be up there as well

Las Vegas - Nevada State
With a little help from a lot of high end software and AI tools, this is a collated screen grab Vanessa Marcil's DiD scene (one of my favorites, albeit being brief) from the "Nevada State" episode of "Las Vegas" TV series

Did a quick scan, might have missed something but don't think so. Nothing at all that I saw.

Can you take us non-techies through what you did? Not sure what a collated screen grab is, nor how you collated it.

Thanks

C'mon, man, everyone knows what a collated screen grab is!

I think it's fancy term for enlarging an image and keeping the sharpness, but otherwise, no idea.

And if it's got Vanessa Marcil in it, doesn't matter.

I mean, there weren't too many females on the planet hotter than Vanessa in the 1990s and 2000s. Wow.

I had to use 3 different screen captures to create the image because she wasn't completely visible in any single screen capture (her body was being blocked by the kidnapper's legs). Then used a combination of Topaz AI, Luminar Neo AI and Photoshop to enlarge, enhance and clean up the final screen capture. Finally I used CodeFormer to clarify some minor details of her face.

Interesting! So would this technique be able to give us a better look at other DiD scenes where the damsel is partially obscured just enough to ruin an otherwise great visual image? No particular scene comes to mind at the moment but I’m sure others here can come up with some good suggestions if you haven’t already got others in your queue.

The actress's name is Stephanie Hoston, for those who are interested in these things! :-)

X-Files Reboot?
Not a done deal as yet but the iconic series may be up for a comeback under a new show-runner. Not sure if the original leads will be involved or not; maybe it's time for a new younger pair of agents anyhow. They should probably ditch the tiresome conspiracy mythology and focus on "monster of the week" scenarios and it could be successful again. Will be ample opportunity for DiD-action again, anyhow. Theoretically.

Re: X-Files Reboot?
IIRC Gillian Anderson said she was done with the show after the last season so I sadly wouldn't expect anything from her but you never know. A reboot with a new pair of agents would certainly have some potential.
