# I'm just asking
because lots of your previous pics were less contrasty and less saturated that this one. This pic looks much better on my screen.

# I try to find source pics of a decent resolution to use for vectoring.
This film, and the last one (Zombieland) are pretty easy to find HR images on web, but for the cheap no-budget nothing films I have to grab a screenshot via the wonders of "PrtSc" while watching the DVD. And a lot of those films are really crap quality which really doesn't help when trying to base a vector on them.

# Ah, I got you.
I use PS for vectoring, so I just use adjustment layers to get the pic into shape (brighness/contrast, hue/sat, color balance) if I'm going to sample colours directly from the source.

# Same here
But with really low-res images of really small image size that were recorded presumable from a 1970's videotape the sources really lack all the aspects you need for vectoring (colours, image definition etc) so a lot of the time it's all guesswork.
I'm always surprised when I grab a colour from an image with the eyedropper and it always comes out grey.
