You don't want to do it with Angels, because the Tribal synergy is all in white and it makes for either too much variance or too pointless a splash. And heavy-hitting "baneslayers" are fun but you'd rather prioritize removal in W than protecting them.

Sidenote: Broodmoth is about as unfair as I go.

Yes, that is Sarulf's Packmate, No that is not a non comsmeticsed-out copy of "Thirst". That is not being replaced with a Cosmetic Rare as we speak.

You're very, very welcome :)

Anyway, forgive the rant in agreement if it offends, just happens to be things I think about a lot, get easily riled by, and find interesting. Happy Thanksgiving John!

It looks bad on older stuff to change this because the focus was based on it not being changed, and so similar to value, the new settings may introduce unintended patterns of visual attention i.e. they 'catch the eye' strangely. It can be done without AI by the way by simply doubling the frames.

this jump, one assumes, is because the 24 frames used with old cameras was entirely an arbitrary bound, initially based on the speed that alternately a motor could be run or a spring could decoil to wind the film through the camera. 24-30 was settled on as adequate to create the illusion of motion.

Brightness was also lower, and so expanding this range without carefully addressing the placement of different values is catastrophic.

The other prime failure is in upgrading from 24 to 60 frames per second. This is where old media often gets a strange look. Many processors get excited to make...

the media becoming lost. In this case I'd imagine that motivated this person to do what he did, results be damnéd.
Prime failures are color fidelity, as a B/W CRT had a completely different valoric range than modern backlit LCDs. "Blacks" on new screens can be rendered darker...

It's true that no one saw anything like that on their '50s set. There are issues that we in the processing community face working with media from that time that cause me, at least, to shy away from that work, although the value I go by, and I'd imagine it's instructive, is whth there's a risk of

Film/video processor here. I don't use AI in my work to avoid the uncanny effect of "improved" IQ (image quality) as well as the destructive effects on original images (frames). Plenty of reasons not to like this job, imo, particularly the Venetian blind effect which up with that something is.
