Aliens BD regraded to the Quad DVD and Upscaled (Color Experiment #2)

[PDB]

Aliens.1986.TC.DVD.Regrade.and.Upscale.2160p.SDR.HEVC.LD.PCM.2.0.v1.0 (Color Experiment #2)

This is also an experimental regrade similar to The Matrix. Just more of me testing different regrading techniques.

Also not 100% yet, still some artifacts, but its slowly getting there as I work out the bugs. Some more examples:

Since I've done many Aliens project I added the standard fixes to the "fixes". Putting the knife marks back in, the fingerprints, the incorrect gun/flamethrower order and the bishop hole.

Video:
The BD regraded to the Quad DVD (with a slight adjustment) with parts patched from older HDTV broadcast (cleaned of dirt) to restore the movie before "fixes". That video was then upscaled to 2160p resolution.

PCM 2.0 Dolby Surround (from the P&S LD 2.0)

Didn't the HDTV already have the look of the Quadrilogy DVD?

Odd you are the second person from the UK to say Imgur is not working. I wonder if that is on the UK's ISP side or Imgur's side.

I'm not married to Imgur, it was just easy to embedded the images. If someone has a good alternative, I'd love to hear it.

It sure did (well 90% the same) and I did a release of the HDTV a few years ago. This is the color from the DVD/HDTV just with the better scan/detail of the BD. The BD is a much better scan even with its host of issues.

I'm trying a few tests color regrades and I still have a giant Aliens project folder full of video and audio, so it makes a good test subject.

I use this method and it works perfectly.
