You can easily collect the screenshots we've compiled by downloading two things:

1. The DVD Profiler program
2. The file in the first post of this thread

You'd then import the downloaded file into DVD Profiler and you can then grab the headshots from the actor profiles.

There's no easy way to extract the headshots from the db except for screen caps.

Is it not possible to copy & paste? I've never tried it myself, but assumed it would be possible...

Yeah it's possible. I do it all the time. You even get the full quality picture and not a down-sized version.

Note: It's not possible from a DVD profile. You either have to be in the cast database, or double-click on an actor from within a profile.

Thank you for the database... I was initially doing it one at a time using google until I found this. You just saved me weeks of work.. thanks!

I don't understand what you say isn't "possible from a DVD profile."  If you're in the layout screen, click on an actor in the cast window, you'll open a new window with all the profiles that actor appears in in you database.  This window has the actor's picture in the upper left corner.  If you right click on that picture, you can add, copy, or clear the headshot.  You can also do this when you're editing a profile.

So when is it you CAN'T copy and paste the image?

Immediately from within the DVD profile. If you single click an actor you get his picture dislayed within the DVD profile. You can't copy it then. If you double-click the actor, you get that actor's filmography as it exists in your collection. You can copy it then.

I see, now.  You get the same filmography if you single-click on the "Cast Information" box beside the actor's photo (under the Birth Year data) -- at least on the layout I use (Invelos Default - High Resolution). -- without the need to double click.

When I integrated the database with my Profiler, I was amazed to find that it contained even very obscure favorites of mine like Vladek Sheybal and Gabriella Licudi. Now that it's spoiled me, I'm annoyed when I see that it fails to include Grant Withers, Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Sidney Blackmer, Sig Rumann, Elizabeth Russell, Alan Mowbray, Eric Blore, Douglas Dumbrille, Michael Sarrazin, James McEachin, and Christine Belford.

I notice that the database integrates wtih Profiler even actors who are not in any of my DVDs so far. In a particularly curious instance, I found that the son of silent swashbuckler Douglas Fairbanks was missing a shot, but this was because of the presence/absence of a comma before "Jr." Based on prior experience I tried to delete the alternate form (with the headshot) so that I would get a warning of which titles were using that form, but evidently none were -- the name was deleted without further ado, so now I have to find a Fairbanks Jr. headshot for myself.

you can right click on the name and select "Show Credits" - and this will show where the actor is included in profiles in your collection
