Here’s a comparison album, showing why in the video I posted yesterday v2.5 is an improvement over v2.0.
In the Special Edition, many of the shots in this sequence have been recomposited. In Despecialized v2.0 those recomped shots were either left in or partially replaced with the GOUT - in v2.5, they were all replaced with the Grindhouse version, cleaned up and color corrected - the colors on the Grindhouse version are pretty bad, so there’s only so much that can be done to retrieve them (actually, I think I deserve some kind of award just for how much I’ve been able to pull out of the Grindhouse) and the cleanup was also very labor-intensive but it is now much much closer to the original version than v2.0, with a lot more clarity in the shots that used the GOUT in v2.0 and even in some that used the BD, because many shots in the BD version are actually quite fuzzy.
