    How can digital restorations fade?

    I remembered poorly. I was refering to this article: DVD Review - David Fincher Fincher says that for the DVD they transfered the negative which was not printed with bleach bypass. They initially tried to transfer prints, and I.P.s made with the bleach bypass process, but he couldn't find a...
