Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to using digital photographic film processing techniques for restoration of photographic film having a color grid over an underlying silver film. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention improve the resolution and reduce the noise of images with color matrix dots for use with modern digital display technologies. In doing so, embodiments of the present invention advantageously overcome the adverse situation of color matrix dots in images being distracting when viewed directly, particularly in the case of the modern world of digital displays because displaying such a color matrix as is has previously not been practical on a digital display, however means of suppressing the dots in preparation for a digital display have produced low resolution and noisy images.
