We hope to have the ESB deconstructed version appearing at the myspleen site in awhile.

Details:

========================

March 2015,

Here is an archive of original scan of the first print we had.

There are 2 versions included here:

-----------------------------------

1 1080p Non corrected Raw Version

2 720p Color corrected Version

Also included are several comparisons of different prints,

using selected reels:

----------------------------------------------------------

1 - 2 prints [original and partial Fuji]

2 - 3 prints [original, Eastman, and Fuji]

3 - 4 prints [of reel 3]

The first can be used as a reference version, although a

small segment of Reel 2 has been inserted.

This is for people to see the origin of our scans, and

how some of it was used for the Grindhouse version.

You can experiment with fixing it, and to see a color reference,

we have included a 720p downscale also.

================================================

There are also some test color corrections and cleanup

to show what can be done.

There are numerous issues with the scan as listed below,

although it is watchable.
