I was just reading over the release notes for the first time, and the part about this being made from a special release print struck directly from the original negative, so we’re essentially working with an inter-positive?! YaY.
Same generation from the o-neg, but NOT an interpositive (which has lower contrast and a distinctly orange color). This is a print in the intended color timing made directly from the negative for special showings. Interpostives are made to master hundreds of prints (directly making internegatives from which the final prints are made).
These are the steps for release prints. This is supposed to be a print that skipped the middle two steps. Very commonly done in low numbers.
