Either way, I absolutely hate these shots lol…
Why
Because there are some of the dirtiest on the print, I don’t hate the actual shots, I think they look great; that’s why I’m restoring them…
Here’s the finished shot; I haven’t used a single pixel of the Blu-ray or any other source, just 4K77, and 4K78 to remove dirt on the officer’s face where the dustbuster couldn’t work… When brightened up, the image had thousands of scratches and dirt, and other stuff which had to be removed manually… I also kept the original grain layer, unlike V1, where I DNR’ed it to smithereens, did a horrible patch job using still frames from the Blu-ray, etc, and then added a fake grain layer over everything…

There shouldn’t be a single dust particle left in it now:
