[Fan edit] Terminator 2 Judgment Day (1991) 4K - SO2F Cut (Regraded, dewaxed...)

[palachdredd777]

I want to cancel the download, but I'm so excited. Maybe someone will finally join in and give away some pie? Please, people, in the name of Art, sacred Cinema.

Whatever the problem is, is not me.
There have people downloading from me as fast as 8MB/s.

Hello, the release looks fantastic! ))) If you don't mind, please answer a few questions.
1) Did you use the theatrical 4K version or did you upscale the Blu-ray remaster?
2) Did you increase the video contrast or increase the exposure? (I feel pressure on my eyes, usually due to the high brightness of bright objects.)
3) Did you use film scans for color correction: Rob Nostalgie and WB Optical?

Thanks.
Glad you downloaded at last.


1) 4K UHD. Except for the scene from the special edition (for obvious reasons), and 3 other shots, I must confess: T-1000 "secret piercing weapon" (upscaling the whole shot looks better, more consistent than upscaling and inserting back the area erased from the remastered shot), and also two shots from the T-800 entering the molten metal which are overly bright to the point of clipping and losing details on the UHD. All of them Human managed-AI upscaled from the Lionsgate.

2) Yes. The HDR in this particular disc is pretty much non-existent, and when tonemapping, the resulting picture is pretty dull, more so than other films. I used my own curve, to make it look more like the remastered bluray. But many shots are further tweaked, either a bit darker or brighter depending on  what the 35mm suggest.

3) WB optical. Like I said in the first post, when using one of these amateur 35mm scans as reference (I have to say this is one of the best scans I've seen) you must look beyond the flaws. Matching what you see, just like that, is not the smartest thing to do.

Which one is the "WB optical"? Amongst all the 35mm scans I have collected, I have none with a "WB optical" tag on it. And now I'm also very interested in the one mentionned there, which could even be a better source: https://fanrestore.com/thread-6893-post-...l#pid97499

It's that one izzybell mentions, 2160p, 79.31 GB from rutracker. The one I got is 68 GB, it just doesn't have all the russian dubs muxed. Beware, find the 4K version. Because there's also 1080p one (41GB) with additional, BAD, mastering (the white point is fokked up resulting in overly yellow-reddish highlights, and has some crushed blacks).

BTW, here's that shot of Arnie putting the glsses from my fanedit (I agree with you, this particular shot it's a bit too much green and dark. This is what I mean when I say look beyond the flaws when regrading):

OK, so I already have the WB, then. It’s just not labeled as such. Still I wonder about that other one misleadingly labeled as Super-35.

I haven't seen any version labeled as that (I would love to  take a look at it).
It must have been released on one of those obscure private forums.

Yeah. I asked the guy who posted about it. I'm now waiting for a response...
