Attack Of The Clones - upscaled deleted scenes — Page 2

I used Topaz Starlight pretty extensively in my Clone Wars restoration project and while it did great with animated footage, I often had to upload the same clip several times to get multiple versions. I then had to edit those versions together taking the best frames of each upscale. For some shots that was 8 or 9 different uploads of the same two second shot. In the end I still had to recreate some elements with Photoshop for the best version of a frame.

Ultimately it worked for what I was trying to accomplish, there isn’t a place for it here. Phase3 did a truly fantastic job on these shots!

Thanks for your kind words!😃
What you did on those Clone Wars shots was fantastic! 👍🏽

I’d like to see those Clone Wars shots!

Oh yeah, I don’t think I ever told you but, Chase3, your upscales are certainly the best I’ve seen yet!

I wonder if the paid version of Starlight gives you adjustment options? Or if not, do you think there are elements from the Starlight version you (or anyone) might comp in? maybe lower the opacity so it blends? I don’t know, I haven’t tried anything yet. 😛

I’ll check the system requirements first; my computer is getting quite old, so I’d need to find out if my current hardware could handle it.
I’m in the process of upscaling and restoring some other SW footage (ROTJ Jerjerrod scenes, Star Tours footage, ROTS shots from VFX reels), but I will definitely look into this Starlight model.
