The Abyss Special Edition - my 4K Upscale (Released)

I’m posting this under preservation because, while the rules say properties from obsolete formats that haven’t had a DVD release, I think most of us would consider DVD to be approaching the status of “obsolete.”

So anyway, I’ve done a 4K upscale of the DVD of The Abyss Special Edition (1989) using Topaz Video Enhance AI. I’m very happy with the results for the most part.

EDIT: Here’s a trailer I put together. Be sure to set quality to max so you can really see the difference! https://youtu.be/yBfNXaJAX_A

It is an upscale so of course it isn’t perfect. The one shot that I wish would work better is the big overhead shot of when the alien ship surfaces from the ocean. It’s so unusual that the AI just didn’t really know what to do with it. Anyways, let me know what you think!

How does that particular shot look, specifically?

Oh, wow… it really does look like it could use a little bit of manual touching up. But the other five screenshots did look pretty great in 4K.
