I just watched the V2.0, and I have a question about it (probably related to what the last poster has mentioned).

The contrast is just HUGE. I mean all other releases (Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark…) don’t seem have the same “problem”. I realize of course that a print is always contrasty, but the faces are just blown out in some scenes. I’ve read the NFO file and the author says that the release is very true to the source print, and if this is indeed so, then perhaps the original print had some “skip bleach” processing done to it? Or maybe it was done on the duplicate negative before printing?

Another issue is that, when I look the unsqueezed scans the last poster submitted, I don’t see the same problem, it looks fairly “normal” for a print.

Any comments?
