Good tutorials for a specific set of caps.

I went back through all my saved tutorials and the memories for the community and I cannot find anything that will make these screencaps I have come alive. I know there are many tutorials for brightening dark images, but these caps are stubborn.





They are from dj_capslock, by the way.



Anyway, you know how most icons have that clear, clean, and bright icon shine to them? Kind of like my icon for this post? The most simple and easy coloring of all, just to make the caps look like they did when they were on TV originally? Something like that, for these caps. There are posts for every kind of fancy icon making under the sun, and I just need something basic.

I know this is vague and probably terribly common, but I'm just at a dead end. I'll be glad to show more examples if you need it.

Basically, just rec me your favorite basic tuts for sharpening/brightening/cleaning up/etc caps for Photoshop CS2.

Thanks.
