The Vimeo link, too? I may be blind, but I don't see a vimeo link. Am I looking in the right spot? Is it in the "announcements" thread?

I can't get it either, it says don't have permission.

Dark Jedi, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I missed it too, unfortunately, due to some severe girl trouble (I'm probably never going to speak to her again after today, which may be for the best), but I'm gonna check it out now.  I really enjoyed the last live chat and learned some extremely interesting things from it, so I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more.

Mike, you're awesome, and please keep on being so.  ;)

Severe Girl Trouble was my band's name in high school.

Dead link!

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Your version of that shot is gorgeous. I can't even handle how dark that blu ray version is, it's kind of freaking me out.  What were they thinking??

A lot of the home transfers can be too dark also - I'm not sure the tantive corridor has ever been properly represented with clean-enough white tones.

Here's the 1982 LD:

Fascinating! This kind of attention to detail is worth of a 4K release. Possibly an 8K, if it goes on long enough. How long's this been going then?

Ol’ George has the GOUT, I see.

On the subject of color noise, why would this have been consciously added to the blu-ray? Many times I've been unable to salvage certain gradients in the blu-ray because there's more difference in the color noise of a single color than there is in two colors which should be worlds apart!

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Holy shit, Mike. That is beautiful.

I pretty much shit myself when you switched over to Legacy from the BluRay. Like seeing that frame again for the first time.

And the detail! The tiny detail that someone building that set thought to put in there that had been subsequently erased by Lowry's "restoration" is finally back. That's what real restorations should be about.

@FrankT - a long time.  Long time. :)  Also, you'd get practically nothing from an 8k scan over a 4k.  The grain dots are already the size of nail heads - there's just nothing else in there.  There are also great whitepapers from various sources (check DFT-Film, especially) on why 4k is kind of "it" from most sources.  

@Neverar - because a LOT of noise reduction/degraining was used in the Lowry restoration.  I'll do a video showing the tell-tale signs, maybe recreating it so you can see what happens.  Anyway, one of the byproducts of that is it averages out all the grain in the image, so they put some back, but for more than just aesthetic reasons:

When you degrain an image and do noise reduction, it tends to look very soft - smooth, but soft.  When you add grain back - it's the wildest thing - it suddenly looks sharp again.  It's like your brain has something sharp to focus on, so it just rethinks the image.  I'll show this in action too, before/after.  It'll blow your mind how adding grain suddenly makes a soft image seem sharper.
