4K77 is beautiful. I am looking at version 1.4 and the more lifelike, subdued colours are such a wonderful rebuff of the oversaturated look of the post-2004 releases.

I am running 4K77 through Topaz AI which clears away grain and sharpens details without creating blurriness. It can also apply an additional level of grain afterwards so the end result has consistent grain levels across all shots. I am astonished at how crisp the previews are looking while having just enough noise to avoid the wax dummy look.

I had to downscale the file to 1080p for my hardware limitations and the job will take five days, but 4K77 did so much wonderful cleanup and colour correction that a plug-and-play solution like Topaz can add a final polish to their stunning work.
