There has been no digital cleanup done on the files. This is why we spend a lot of money physically cleaning the prints.

There is still some dirt and debris on there that will require digital cleanup though.

Dre, I watched reel1 and Reel6 projected last night, from a different SE print that I have here, the grade is all over the place, but not very different to the technicolor prints.
The greys of the Death Star and X-Wing interiors are greenish-grey like on the IB, the overall colouring is similar, but man some shots are graded poorly on the SE. Star field backgrounds very green or blue for instance. It is very inconsistent shot to shot.

As to more detail or being closer to the negative, I guess we will see.
Some of the shots I’ve looked at so far have less resolvable detail than the IB prints, I think it will vary shot to shot.
