I really love that sample poita - the IR matte has been used to automatically remove all the green coloured “damage” yes?

The two prints were aligned, then the IR matte was used as a guide to paint through to the other image, but with an algorithm to keep the grain pattern from the master print. Then an analysis was done of the remaining damage, and that corrected, leaving out the main vertical scratches for now as they require a separate pass.

One thing I saw on the first couple frames of the preview (and at about 11:23:23 of the mould damaged UK reel 2) is a big square move across the screen. Is that print damage, or is it normal?

It is Xmas eve over here, and for the first time in months the entire family is home, about to take the kids out to see the lights, then tuck them all in soundly, while visions of sugarplums…

Thanks again to everyone, I hope you all are in a good place. I will be offline for the next week, and I will chat to you all again in 2017.

And no, 2016, you can’t have Carrie as well!!

Downloaded German Reel 6 preview. This is my favorite capture so far by far, for both the look AND the sound. Thank you!

Merry christmas Poita! Glad all is well with you and your family. I’ve downloaded the preview but looks like people have beaten me to full reviews of what’s there and what’s missing. I’ll see if there’s anything else I can spot though.

I just found out about Carrie as I was working on the scene with her rallying the snowspeeder troops on Hoth, trying to ensure the light in her eyes was not lost.

Devastated.

In the beginning, the Universe was created.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

LOL. Thanks for making my day, Towne. And reminding me that I still need to finish reading the third book. 😄

I haven’t been on all day and it feels great when the first post I read brings a smile to my face.
