Creative Intent Preserved

• Color creative intent preserved with this
  calibration scale not simply images
• Alignment patterns allow reconstruction
  pixel to pixel

Rosetta Stone

• Description of film picture
• Definition of Bayer Pattern
• Defined color map
• Alignment and image level
• Source Dimensions and frame rate

15
Un-Archive Process

• Free source code provided for un-archiving
• Registers all color images with single scan
• Alignment is pixel accurate

16
Visionary Archival Process

• 2/3 less film grain than traditional YCM
  recombine
• Re-registration not required
• Warped film no longer an issue
• Alignment patterns ensure solid stabilization
• Creative intent preserved on film

Whats Next?

• Further testing and improvements
• Possibility to add audio to element
