Quick question for James F, since I see he's executing producing this release : while there is (IMO) a clear legitimacy at regrading such restorations, what references were used in this case and for Red Sun's ? Is this a matter of solely removing the lab's color-signature, or to match physical references (and in this case, which ones ?) ?

Good question! I’d like to add The House with Laughing Windows to the list. Arrow‘s grade is noticeably different to the original grade and the Shameless re-grade that looks a lot more film-like to me.
