I used to just watch the GOUT versions until I figured out how to see what Harmy was making. Which means I haven’t had to suffer through the SE changes since 2006. What a relief. I’d probably check out other versions that came straight from existing prints but I just don’t have the hardware or know-how, but that’s okay.
Not being very tech-savy myself I too was a bit intimidated by how complex it seemed to download the 4K scans, but it really just boils down to downloading a free program, copy-pasting a code from a list and waiting for the films to download to your PC. The only hardware requirements boils down to how much storage space you have.
As great as Harmy’s work is I have to say that the 4K versions have become my ultimate go to versions. They really look fantastic. And the fully cleaned up version of ESB should be done some time this year.
