The goal was to present the nearest thing to Bark's line art as could be managed (it no longer exists as original art or reproducible stats), and preserve the printed color as far as was possible. It was no small task to achieve, since the ink coverage and color registration on the source material - the original give-away - was abominable. It required cleaning up the line art without retouching it AND get the color into registration AND correct any mistakes by the original colorist AND eliminate as much as possible of the sheer garbage caused by the original dirt-cheap printing process.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>For the record - and it's on record - Daan Jippes and David Gerstein are credited with restoration on the version of "Race to the South Seas" in "Disney Treasures".</DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>Gary</DIV></BODY></HTML>
