Something I notice comparing pictures, how the makeup is less notable in newest entries of Star Trek.

I have the feeling Deep Space Nine was the peak of makeup effects, like nowdays is a lost art.

What you think?

    Beta tapes are 480i, 720x480 interlaced

    That’s more than enough resolution to clearly identify faces.

      Only ED-Beta was capable of that and it wasn’t released until after TNG was on the air.

      The GameBoy Advance had a 240x160 resolution and they released video carts for that. I wasn’t saying it was too low to see faces, just commenting on the technical details of TNG, etc.
