That price is fine. Are you able to get an estimate on the postage? I can e-mail you my address, if needed.

I'm hoping to get about "80% of what's possible" with this restoration. I'm a perfectionist too, so I need to be careful not to set my goal to 100% if I ever want this to get released.

I know that's an incredibly-loosely-defined goal, but I think keeping it around as a mantra of sorts will go a long way in helping me make some difficult choices for the sake of getting this thing done in a reasonable amount of time.

Aaannnnddddd... here's difficult choice #1: We're going to have to settle on 8bpp rather than 10bpp.

Now, I understand the benefits of working in 10bpp. Trust me, I do. Unfortunately, neither myself nor my color-grading guy are equipped to do anything in 10bpp, so my question is: Can you do something on your end to lessen the impact?
