Raiders looks more or less the way it ought to from the footage I've seen. Contrast and colour are pretty similar to prints I've seen, and the sharpness is probably just due to being a 4K neg to IMAX digital conversion, which means we are basically seeing a print from the negative. They may have given it a bit of extra help but these are things that happens in every restoration. No one can really even say if it's too far or not enough because there aren't surviving materials that are reliably definitive.

The small digital erasures confuses me though. Did they do them again? That seems a bit odd. This was a brand new transfer right?
