For those of you wanting a closer look at the difference between the Denoised and non-denoised version:

I know some of you will hate the DNR, while others will prefer it, which is why I figured I should make two versions…
Jedit: By the way, the DNR is calibrated on a shot by shot basis, rather than just applying it to the whole film with one setting. As we all know, some scenes are much grainier than others!
I’m firmly in the anti DNR camp so extra thanks is in order for your being so considerate to we grain fetishists. 😃

Quick question, why does the Final Result crop off some of the image?
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/188245
The cropping in the example is not final and crops too much from top and left and I didn’t bother to make sure it remained at 2.39:1, but the final version will need to be cropped to remove the tape at the top and bottom on scene changes, the left side needs to be cropped because you can clearly see the line where the Eastman print ends and the SSE repair layer begins, and the right side needs to be cropped because there is still damage there. If you compare it to the blu-ray frame you will see that the cropping on the right is the same and the bottom is actually less.

Most of the prints I have are cropped slightly differently, with the LPP seeming to have more picture information on all sides.
