How bad this frame looks. I’ll have to postpone the release.
The shots in Lorien are also too noisy, I’ll make them darker.

Happy Birthday! I wish the author to complete this work as soon as possible. I would like to see a 2020 blu-ray with your color correction.

Color Restoration

It turns out that The Theatrical Edition of The Two Towers also suffered from digital noise reduction.

Luckily The Two Towers and The Return of the King aren’t affected, and the official Blu-rays of those films both look amazing.
The editions of The Two Towers differ. However, the colors on DVD EE and Blu-ray EE are the same.

What exactly differentiates you and 44rh1n’s version, what made you decide to build on his work?
44rh1n restored the colors only in the extended scenes. I used an extended Blu-ray for almost all the scenes, which is better quality than a theatrical Blu-ray.
Dwalin used my grades of the extended scenes, but went even further by completing a shot-for-shot regrade of the rest of the theatrical footage from the extended Blu-ray as well (unlike my release, which uses the theatrical Blu-ray for those scenes).



By the way, there is an Open Matte version of the Avengers: Endgame.
Despecialized Edition is of course higher quality since the source Blu-ray. What is ETC?
Silver Screen Edition
4k77 no-DNR
Despecialized Edition v.2.5

The announcement will take place here.
Are you asking if there will be a higher bitrate version? Probably not, I’m satisfied with the quality of the picture.
