I am seeing films on YouTube at 4K and the detail is just mind blowing even with 8mm home movies.

As I said, sample frames were scanned at very high resolution, uncompressed, at DeLuxe on the Sony Pictures lot. There were no dots remaining in the highlights. I definitely asked them to double check that nothing odd was done that would have suppressed the dots. Sadly, they just aren't there.
