Yes, the recompositing was the least upsetting part of the SE. (And some of it was necessary, because some of the VFX portions of the negative we're on Color Reversal Intermediate and had faded to the point that nothing could be recovered from them.)
Plus, given the goals of the SE (that is, not-about-historical-preservation), it completely makes sense to recomposite to remove matte lines and all that.
