Ive been restoring some of my dads 8mm and super 8 I was experimenting with freds 8mm restoration the results were pleasing but then I thought I would try
john meyers script there were a few improvements from freds script.
here are few comparison still shots one you can see is very faded and no colour depth plus the vertical lines to one side of the frame
bear in mind the frames where unaligned at the top so I have redone them with the film scanner and it is now corrected
how can I improve on colour and background noise and to repair or at least reduce the vertical lines?

1. Consider doing gamma and color correction in your NLE, before serving to the script.
2. Scratches (your vertical lines) are difficult to remove in software because they persist from frame to frame. If you read some of what VideoFred has written about his overall transfer process (i.e., not just his amazing scripts), you'll find that he does his transfers using a "wet gate." This is the only way I know to remove scratches: you put a lubricant on the film prior to transfer and it fills in the scratches and makes them invisible to the transfer equipment.
Hollywood restoration (i.e., the companies that do this for a living) can remove scratches but I'm pretty sure it involves identifying each scratch manually, something that is very labor intensive. -
Yes im using adobe premiere so i could experiment with colour correction in there.
Yes im have been lubricating each film with film guard it certainly does help but some films still have moderate vertical lines.
What is the procedure with wet gating is that the process of making an image sequence and correcting each frame or frames with the defects? -
*update* i have lubricated the film and adding more of the film guard when cleaning and it has made a difference with the vertical line scratches its filled then in alot more

VirtualDub can show you what colorspace each filter is working in. On the Filters dialog enable Show Image Format.
