    “The Robe is the most complex and challenging restoration Lowry Digital has done to date,” says Lowry Digital’s Chief Operating Officer Mike Inchalik. “We worked from an amazingly disparate array of elements, including original camera negative, black-and-white YCM separations, and more than a dozen different types of duplicate negative from different eras.”

    The elements were scanned at 4K resolution and converted to digital files using IMAGICA® film scanners that are specially designed to gently handle older, shrunken films. The images were color corrected to achieve the look of Technicolor dye-transfer prints of the era, using the Baselight™ color correction system. The images were then faithfully restored using The Lowry Process™, a proprietary technique that employs complex temporal image processing to regain detail and resolution to restore consistency, and to reverse the effects of duplication like grain build-up, softening and excess contrast. Physical problems like tears, dirt, misregistration and shrinkage were also repaired.
