dvdmike, did you catch any silver print screenings back in the day? Have you ever tried to regrade anything to get the CCE/ENR look

Is there any way to identify a true silver retention print without needing to watch it/unroll it to the frames, or so?
Or a list which movies had true Silver Retention Prints in which country, because I think non US prints might have been done cheaper, and never got a movie as Silver Retentions...

I guess there may be info on the head/tail leaders, but the main thing is that the density of silver prints is greater and the metallic silver blocks infra-red radiation whereas colour dyes do not. But both of those require examining the print or specialist testing gear

I'll leave here this article on Se7en that has been discussed before I'm sure http://notonbluray.com/blog/the-case-of-se7en/
AKA thxita on OriginalTrilogy
I preserve movies as they first appeared in Italy.

Ah, I remember reading that article.

Quote:The CCE process was deemed too expensive for the majority of first and second-run prints, which were then struck from an inter-positive that had itself been bleach-bypassed, which approximated the effect of the CCE process. This meant that there would be differences between the first-run showings of the film, and subsequent runs

I wonder if the international prints even ever got the "first run" treatment at all, or directly where just done by the bleach bypassed inter-positive.

Alien Res I did and it wasn't advertised as such but Minority Report looked it 100%

Mike, do you remember the look of Alien Resurrection? For example was it particularly desaturated, were certain scenes incredibly dark etc

The water was the key in the kitchen, metallic green and blue in the highlights.
The first shot when the Betty flies in from left rear the highlights on the ships appeared bright and reflective Vs the beyond inky blackness of the space around them
