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.

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).
