Frame-by-Frame Digital Restoration
Core Term Definition
The painstaking process of using software to clean, stabilize, and color-correct scanned film frames one by one.
Technical Analysis & Context
Using advanced workstations (like Diamant or Phoenix), digital restoration artists examine every single frame of a film scan. They manually repair tears, erase leftover dust, remove mold stains, and correct frame jitter. A full restoration requires hundreds of hours of painstaking manual labor.
