I meant to make it look as good as it would from that period without using DNR and possibly losing information (and in fact bringing out anything still lacking). Also, is there any realistic software you would find useful that you wish might be developed to aid in restoration ?
Mr Harris, this thread makes me curious - certain films we are told have been restored as much as they can with what exists. My favorite movie, King Kong (1933) still looks somewhat overly grainy because no OCN exists anymore. Could more thoughtful work have been done on it to make it better...
