I have a 35mm print of Minnie the Moocher, which I recently had a 4k scan done. It was reportedly made from a fine-grain master (though I have my doubts). Though the print itself is relatively recent (8 years-old), all the problems with the master have been captured including dust/dirt/scratches and other damage, splices, and image fading/degrading.

Here is my initial pass at color correcting the opening the sequence. This is color correction only and no flicker reduction, noise reduction, scratch reduction.

Restoration Comparison: Minnie the Moocher (1932)

I recently had a 35mm print of Minnie the Moocher scanned at 4k. This is my first attempt at basic color correction of the file. This was done to a proxy file, so the resolution is not at high as the master. No attempts at stabilization and flicker removal have been done yet.
