Puggo, any chance we could see some screens of the Swedish print? No pressure, but ever since I saw the behind-the-scenes I've always been curious to see how it looked - especially after I saw how well you handled the red tint on the PSA!

For my first pass on the Swedish print, I treated it like the PSA and used the CMYK virtualdub filter and the colors looked pretty decent, particularly in the opening scenes.  But as I went through it scene by scene, I noticed that removing that much red caused a lot of detail to disappear elsewhere in the movie.  I started going through scene by scene with different levels of red reduction, and decided it wasn't worth the effort.  I decided to just do a rough preserve of the film with a modest red reduction and leave it at that.  I've got a pretty serious queue of more interesting SW projects to do afterwards.

So again, don't get your hopes too high!  It is marginally interesting for the subtitles.  And for the fact that it seems to be equally-badly cropped - except on the TOP instead of on the bottom like the PG.  For completists only.  Oh, but there will be another surprise extra. :)

I'll start a new thread and post a few screen shots on my website.
