"Deep inside an industrial building in Burbank, California, stands the Great Wall of Macintosh -- a humming barrier of 700 Apple Power Mac G5s, all meticulously stacked, one atop the other, in a U shape 8 feet high and 100 feet long. Alongside sits an equally imposing server bay, which stores a staggering 700 terabytes of data. Upstairs in a hypersanitized, temperature-controlled chamber, a technician wearing white silk scrubs hovers over two mammoth, $300,000 digital film scanners."Interesting article, but much to dispute in it as well.

...like this:"After a run through Lowry's digital rehab, however, the images are artifact-free: Colors are deeper, detail is better and the images look as fresh as anything shot today." Sounds maybe like *edge enhancement*.
"Because we'd taken the noise out of the pictures," he says, "the geologists were seeing stuff in the rocks that they'd never seen before." Hard to believe, as an ex-remote-imaging scientist myself, that such detail was new to them, plus -- *noise reduction*?

God I hope it is more than that.

There are many flavors of noise. The thing is we'd have to see what they are doing to have any debate with them about their claims. There are many tiers of digital editing in terms of quality. I have seen some really bad restoration and some really good. The claims are grand but there is nothing to dispute without examples.To me the most important thning is that it is being done with film elements that will cease to exist in any useful form quite soon.
Once these things are too far gone they are gone forever. Not sure what there was to despute in the article.
