I can understand that a movie intentionally shot in B&W, while we have full color making them in full 4K color, for artistic reasons, has a valid reason to remain untouched. A few film makers do this, respect them. A degree of controversy has emerged about line and arc sharpening to 4K as well as colorisation. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/history-colourisation-controversy https://www.wired.co.uk/article/history-colourisation-contro... It is strange, we see all the old marble statues from greek and roman times as stark white marble objects - I oroginally thought this was normal and as they were made.. I heard later that most of the original startuary was painted, often quite brightly in its original form. I also read that in many places after Rome broke up into the eastern and western roman empires - the Western one declining into the middle ages, and the eastern one carrying on, repainting statues from time to time, while the middle age europe allowed the paint to be age away to dust and leave the white statuary we have become accustomed to as many of the places where the statuary rested was in weathered and buried ruins. In many Islamic countries with continuity from the time of the Eastern Roman Empire we see these old colored statues. Some Arabic leaders even bought old white statues and painted them as they used to be - this was portrayed in the Western press as some form of barbarism - it was not. I can understand how digitally easy it is to detect straight lines and arcs on old photos and render them into sharp straight lines/curves. Adding colours to old photos and movies and interpolating an extra frame to bring it to 60Hz from the old 16 or 24Hz or so, is also reasonable - as long as the colours are accurate - we have had hand coloured photos for well over 100 years. These are, in effect documentaries, maximu accuracy is a valid reason. Most, if not all, the places colorised respected the original colors as they can be seen now. My tendency is to approve these changes as long as they are accurate, and render the image as well as if it had been taken by a time traveller with 60fps, 4K full color movies. I can not understand these historians taking umbrage as long as the work is accurate as to color.. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/true-colors-17888/#:~:text=Colored%20statues%3F,also%2C%20like%20mighty%20stage%20sets https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/true-colors-1788.... https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/29/the-myth-of-whiteness-in-classical-sculpture https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/29/the-myth-of-wh... https://theancienthome.com/blogs/blog-and-news/greek-roman-statues-painted https://theancienthome.com/blogs/blog-and-news/greek-roman-s... http://www.openculture.com/2019/12/roman-statues-werent-white-they-were-once-painted-in-bright-colors.html http://www.openculture.com/2019/12/roman-statues-werent-whit... https://www.cnn.com/style/article/gods-in-color-ancient-world-polychromy/index.html https://www.cnn.com/style/article/gods-in-color-ancient-worl...
