Hello there community. I am happy to report that my quality updates on the DS9 pilot are finished.
Most important changes include:
- better grain and detail retention (to avoid over-smoothed/artificial look)
- additional rainbowing reduction
- increased detail sharpening
- better handling of smaller elements (font/writing, console buttons, comm badges and such)
- added dehazing to remove white/grey-ish tint in some scenes
- slightly adjusted color representation
How did I accomplish that?
Well, I reworked about 27 scenes with different AI-models and re-did about 2000 frames by hand (removed scratches, blurred some elements to avoid artefacts - basically all things the software did not notice).
How does it look now?
