Almost perfect, but if anyone wanted to take a shot at their own theatrical reconstruction there are some improvements that could be made. There were occasional choices in colouring that made faces and skin look waxy and artifical, and some crushed black levels look photographically anomalous. I suppose this was a limitation in the source.

yeh, the skin tone & crushed blacks  thing is a problem with the 2004 transfer. sometimes the skintones don't have any highlights and are all one shade so it was impossible to restore these without rotoscoping sections to add new highlights which would have taken forever.
