Well you could be right, I've been out of the game for a few years, so I don't know what the latest gizmos can do, but I'll only believe it when I see a decent scan from a projection print.
All these scanning devises are supposed to work from low-contrast elements, original b/w or colour negative, interpositive or fine grain positive (b/w), anything with too much contrast, & it doesn't go well.
Yeah, I wonder if they'll ever be able to successfully scan a Technicolor print? If they could, it would mean scanning each frame at various densities, not much light for the lighter parts of the frame & really pushing it through for the darker bits, & then re-assembling each frame using a lot...
