I been searching for a Lain wallpaper I like for some time now. The
images I usually found, aren't quite what I want. I think some parts
of the anime are interesting for wallpapers, but of course the quality
is not too good. Nonetheless, I extracted all the keyframes from the
videos and selected a few images I like. Maybe some one can help me to
find similar images with better quality? Or maybe the images can
improved?

For those interested, I used ffmpeg with the following script to
extract the keyframes:
  for i in $(seq -f "%02g" 1 13)
do
mkdir lain$i
INPUT="Serial Experiments Lain - E$i.mkv"
OUTPUT=lain$i/lain-e$i
echo $INPUT -- $OUTPUT
ffmpeg -loglevel warning -i "$INPUT" -vf "select=eq(pict_type\,I)"
-vsync vfr -qscale:v 2 -huffman optimal "$OUTPUT-%02d.jpeg"
done

Is it possible to make them into a higher resolution?

I can upscale then, but there is no point, the images wouldn't have
any more details in them...
>>1997
I tried the demo, but images weren't any different than what one would
get with normal upscaling. Maybe it's intended for images of lower
resolution...

I have the hope that better quality versions were available some
where. Particuly of the image show at the ending. I like that image
but its too blurry. Maybe I should the check the possibility of
vectorization.
