Thanks for your reply, MJBenito.

Yes, that was my understanding, however thorough comparison of that original and your version raised doubts about that so thanks for the confirmation.

MJBenito said: I used my own Topaz Video AI settings after many tests to get the most natural look. That means that compression has been fixed and details may have a been recovered during the process. I made sure that no sharpening was added in the process because it was the main goal of the project : get rid of the oversharpened look of the official 4K remaster.

While entirely appreciating your great project and also approach when it comes to the color grading, from a critical point of view, one has to state that by trying to recover details, some are also lost (minor, but still). Also, as my screenshots show, in fact there is artificial sharpening in your release which isn’t present in the original, a fact that actually led to doubting which source you had used again.

Thus, if your time allows it, I personally would highly welcome a version with only color adjustment applied but nothing else. No upscale, no AI processing. Same goes with “The Mask” where I intend to comment on separately in the respective thread.
