John Shell Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 From what I've read, the DMR process involves degraining/denoising the footage, increasing sharpness and applying edge as well as boosting contrast. I dont know about digitally shot movies but for 35mm, the main reason for degraining was 35mm grain would look very enlarged and overwhelming on an IMAX screen which kinda makes sense, as true IMAX is clean with much less visible grain. But doesn't all this come at a cost to picture quality ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted February 16, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Most of DMR movies never looked good. With films like Interstellar, I believe they did a photochemical process from 35mm 4 perf negative, directly to IMAX IP, so it looks pretty good. I think Interstellar maybe one of the best blow up's I've seen, due to it not looking so artificial like the DMR process. The bulk of the DMR movies are DI, so they're 2k finals blown up to IMAX! YUCK! Edited February 16, 2022 by Tyler Purcell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
