  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Scaling 2K to 4K

Is there any point to upscaling Red 2k? What does that achieve? 2k film transfers are more common (& less expensive) than 4k anyway, aren't they?

If you had super crisp 2k CG elements where jaggy edges might be an issue, I could see upscaling having some benefit, but one thing Red images do not have is jaggies.
 
The June issue of American Cinematographer has an article on Page 82 about a complete end to end 4K post on a 3D IMAX film where they shot the underwater in digital and scaled up in a Lowry process to 4K.
