That sounds about right.

I’m not a huge fan of HDR. I completely believe it’s the modern equivalent of colorizing a black and white film.
You are extracting light levels and colors from a film print (or in this case a computer) that the original creators had no expectations people would see.
I don’t understand why more purists aren’t against it since it isn’t the intent of the filmmakers.

So, the Diamond Edition is probably the last best version. Of course there is still the IMAX reanimation, but unless you’re going to scan a film print, I don’t think we can do more accurate than the LD, which is never going to look great.

Anyone know if “Aladdin 1992 720p HDTV DD5.1 x264-ESiR” is before the IMAX changes?
