Forgive my use of the word "amateur." I was not using it to slight poita (far from it, he was a projectionist, he worked with film for years, so he knows his shit). I was using it in the classical sense of not doing it as a paid profession. As in, people outside of the industry transferring 35mm with their own second-hand or homemade equipment. I should have used another word, I just couldn't think of one.
I understand all of that about the color, it fits with what poita told me, and I am willing to defer to him because as I said already, I know he knows his shit.
Don't worry, I am not criticizing this transfer. I absolutely think it looks amazing. I also donated to make this scan happen.
What is CEE?
