Well, it seems you have more questions than I can answer inside a thread,
Why? Is there a character limit or something?
I do not wish to use any TN1 scans due to their scans having bad colour that would require me to spend another 5 years.
Another 5 years? I thought you started working on this in “November 2023” as per your current original post.
Arguably, you are wasting your time by working with such a low quality source, being this mysterious scan done in 2012 that no one has ever heard of that looks more like the GOUT.
And yeah, look at those bad colours. Terrible, unusable. Definitely better to use some “unknown scan from 12 years ago in SD” (GOUT) rather than a fresh HD scan.
Well, technically yes and technically no. the fixing of the colour began already in 2019.
