The reels belong to a friend. Our buddy that did the transfer actually no longer has access to the equipment since he’s changed careers but he managed to get a 4K transfer done of JP before he left. I’ll be getting a copy from him soon. Hopefully the blacks are a little better. I’ll keep you guys posted.
Great! If you can find the 4K scan, then it’d be best if you can create a 19201660 resolution file instead of 12551080. Then it’ll have the full horizontal resolution of HD plus more height. That’ll make any further edits better without having to compromise on quality. Because blowing up 1225 to 1920 will cause artifacts and pixelations. But thanks anyway.
Also, you get far more detail from 4K scan than from a HD, so you can brighten the dark parts on a copy of that scan and then downrez the corrected file to 1920*1660 (approx) and share it with us.
