Thanks for the comments. To be fair, we did compare it to the bluray. And the Bluray is still better for detail.

However, we noticed there are some scenes which still have marks and dirt on them on the Bluray, especially during the trench scene.

On every frame of the sequence, there were dirt and dust, and other colored specks.

We will post some comparison shots with higher resolution stills, and much more detail on these.

Although this is low resolution, you should still be able to see how the cleanup is on it. The top is the original LPP, the bottom is the clean version.

Team Negative1

Hi all,

Long time lurker. Thought I'd sign up and post as I think it is great what Team Negative1 are doing here.

I've noticed a lot of talk about comparing this to the Blu-ray, if you understand the technical process of how these films are transferred from their dirty 35mm camera negatives to what you see when you pop in that disc... you'd see that comparing this to a blu-ray for quality/detail is just silly.

A company by the name of Lowry Digital who were responsible for the blu-ray transfers for the James Bond films, run the films through a digital film scanner that runs at a cost of about $300,000. They have over 700 terabytes of local storage and huge server farms. Not to mention the team that tackles all the footage once it has finished. I don't have much detail on how Star Wars was restored but I doubt it was anything less than this.

Looking forward to it.
