The restoration tool that I would like

[gll99]

The restoration program I would like has these minimum features:

1- Single frame advance as well as frame number access
2- Displays possibly 2 but preferably 3 consecutive frames with frame numbers in 3 windows prev current and next
3- Tools like an image editor such as the lasso to cut, copy and paste selected shapes within a frame and also temporarily stored to use across frames which means that multiple lasso selected shapes could be carried to future as yet un-displayed frames.
4- Possesses a magnifier and a pixel painter including cloning brushes, color pickers etc...

Does such a program already exist? If yes what is it called?
If not then given that single frame advance is common in many programs and editing cloning tools exist in many other programs would it be feasible to combine the two ideas? What are the pitfalls to such an undertaking by a very rusty VB programmer.

btw) I posted here instead of the programming forum for subject matter ideas.

Blast your video out to frames (TGA files) and edit in Photoshop .... a real pain...

There's another program that sort of does this, but I forget the name of it. I think disturbed1 has talked about it before, some of his old posts I've read.

Neat Image (http://www.neatimage.com/) combined with Virtualdub's Save Image Sequence feature does some of what you describe. It also works as a Photoshop plug-in.

You could also look at CinePaint (a.k.a. Film Gimp) on Source Forge. It also does a lot of what you are after, and is cross platform as well.
