Thanks for your effort, ive noticed the movie has some audio sync issue on the english. can you confirm?

Yes, I've noticed, too

But it should only be a short part somewhere in the first 15 minutes...

RELEASE CANCELED

I just watched the 1080p thing on my TV and to me it looks just terrible

I think I did to much color editing and a lot of banding effects are in the video.

I never did this before, but this version is not worth to be released.

I am sorry. Watch out for the next one

One More Time... LOL There have been so many rips of this film, but until they release a blu-ray or 4K version this is probably the best there will ever be, Thanks, ghost, I know this had to be a lot of work and took a LOT of time.

[ghost]

OK. Sorry for bothering you again.

Now, I am pleased with the result and the movie looks very good!
(In view of the fact that the source was a more than 10 years old TV broadcast).

Upscaled and enhanced to Full HD using AI technology, colors corrected and again 2 audio tracks (German and English in sync )

I both feel for you and applaud you. The first because getting it just right is very tricky. For example, many people feel that a little bit of noise/ grain is actually desirable as it gives an illusion of detail/ sharpness. The second, because you are a perfectionist. You'll keep tinkering until you get the best result that is possible with the current technology.

OK. Sorry for bothering you again.

Yeah, right, "bothering" us.

Now I can zap the last quality rip you made of this iconic film. I think this one film has the most comments of any on this site - 16 pages worth. Thanks for you efforts, ghost, they're much appreciated.

This is how Brooke Shields was meant to be seen in Pretty Baby.She was one of the most beautiful little girls that ever existed.What an Awesome Privelege to have gotten to see her nude like this.At such a young age too,only 12.She did some of her best work when she was a Preteen.Only complaint I have is the nude scenes of hers were far too few in Pretty Baby, and way too brief!But I'm grateful for what she did do for all of us.Love you for it Brooke!You should be proud of your labor of love.

To have the unedited version of Pretty Baby,with Brooke Shields completely nude unedited in high definition would be a heart's wish.

My release a few days before comes pretty close to that

How can I get yours?Many links I have tried are dead end leads.I'd love to own this movie like the original version, but clearer. If you do have one like that, any help will be appreciated. I've been looking for years for this movie uncropped, with no success so I just quit looking after awhile. I don't have the best browser either.so a direct upload would be possible. Thanks for the info.
