You might ask: "Why 1080p when we have 4K?" Because 90% of 35mm theatrical prints, especially answer prints from 1993, resolve optimally at roughly 2K to 3K of usable vertical resolution. Upscaling to 4K often requires sharpening. A proper "flat" scan at 1080p captures the full emulsion without digital artifacts. Furthermore, for a fan project , 1080p keeps the file size manageable (usually 50-80GB for a lossless rip) while retaining every ounce of analogue detail necessary.
Forgetting the teal revision, this scan returns to the 1993 look: warm, golden skin tones on Grant and Sattler. Deep, earthy browns on the Brachiosaur. The night scenes are actually dark . You struggle to see the Raptor in the shed because you are supposed to.
