@kk650: I've done some tests, back when the first shots surfaced from the German restoration. I posted some earlier in the thread but they were just lightly adjusted and they will need more adjustment.

Unfortunately there isn't much detail to dig up since I typically dig up detail from within the grain but there is no real grain! The grain that is there might be added artificially since it doesn't look like the grain on the negative scans.

Basically, what will be done with the extended version is this:

1. Blurring away the edge enhancement (fake edge sharpening)
2. Trying to dig up hidden detail
3. Blurring everything slightly to hide the DVNR waxdoll look
4. Adding grain from either the negative scans or other releases

But also considering how this has been altered so much, for the international version we might just adjust the Dutch BD, like digging up detail and color correcting it slightly.

Oh, and thanks Kingherb for the ivory tower shots, but the third one is the only that seems to match the film and it's just a DVD upscale.
