We are shooting a movie on HDV video, editing it in Premiere Pro 2.0, and need to print "production stills" pictures from frames of the video. The problem is, they print as "squished" instead of anamorphic wide screen 16×9, which is how the video is shot. (We have Adobe Production Suite Pro 2)

We export the frame as a .bmp in Premiere Pro 2.0, then open it in Photoshop CS2. We can view it on the computer just fine by using IMAGE | PIXEL ASPECT RATIO | HDV ANAMORPHIC. But, of course, the "Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction is for Preview Purposes Only".

How do we "permanently" correct the Pixle Aspect Ratio so we can print the images in their 16×9 anamorphic ratio?

We also need to de-interlace the pictures.

Any guidance would be appreciated. I’ve tried to find answers to this in Adobe HELP but can’t identify anything that will answer this problem.

To de-interlace a frame you can use the option Filters > Video > De-Interlace. To print in an Anamorphic mode create a new document with same size and square pixels, drag and drop the anamorphic video frame on this new document, and then print. The image will be printed in the anamorphic mode.
