It’s a bit darker but blacked out? There’s no detail whatsover lost in his face.
The blockade runner shot is restored from 35mm.
I just looked at my master for Grindhouse and I must admit that I figured out some better settings for recovering shadow detail from the LPP there but when I was working on it, v2.5 was already finished and encoded. Well, v3.0 should be even better 😉 I still maintain, that whatever black-crush there is, it’s mostly pretty minimal and shouldn’t be very noticeable, unless comparing to some other source.
