Here is the segment for Spaced Ranger:

This is heavily compressed and in 720P the original files are much, much grainier 😃

Thank you for the sample, Poita! Indeed the color registration is pretty bad… But I can’t imagine it being very difficult to fix. They used tools for the Wizard of Oz restoration to ensure that all the channels lined up perfectly - but then again, we probably don’t have access to those tools.

On the bright side, the print looks clean and the colors intact.

I’m actually using the same tools pretty much, but they had the 3 strip seps, so it was a piece of cake, extracting the layers with no ghosting from a print is more tricky, but it certainly can be improved a lot, and in most scenes you wouldn’t notice it in motion. Just is more fiddly as the colour varies from frame to frame, so getting the layers perfectly extracted then adjusted and recombined it a lot more work than if working from a 3 strip scan.
