At the time V1.0 of the SSE was released it was mentioned/planned that there would be a V1.1 with some further corrections/enhancements, is this still in the pipeline? I’ve also seen mention of a grindhouse edition of SW, is this something that is actually planned?
Many Thanks
There was talk of a BD version, but I think that’s been shelved.
As far as I’m aware, the next version will use Poita’s (4K/2K?) scan of the same print, with potentially Dr Dre’s colour correction algorithm applied. I’m personally hoping for a bit more Technicolor, and in an absiolutely ideal world, a soundtrack from a print, like the ESB grindhouse.
As for a grindhouse of SW, the uncorrected scan is available, and was up on Myspleen (again, heresay, I don’t have Myspleen)
To see what it looks like, check out Dre’s excellent algorithm test on his latest thread in this category. There’s 16 mins of the scan with no stabilisation, crop, or cleanup.
Maybe if we all ask very nicely, Dre will be able to make a full colour corrected grindhouse to show off his algorithm 😉
