I didn't. There is some interesting information on their web site www.technicolor.com Click on "about us" and then "innovations". Their latest prints are nothing short of incredible...check it out.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

The colors are more saturated like what you might see if you were there in person. Old classics like Oklahoma! look like a mirror image on the screen. Dr Zhivago is Metrocolor, I think. I saw a new print a few years ago, and it looked very nice, too, but it will fade. Thinking about it, this was the late '70's before LPP. It's already faded. I hope that IB will become something that people come to recognise as being something special. Bruce  |  IP: Logged
