Even today, film restoration (both photographic and cinematographic) is a challenge, because it involves multidisciplinary competences: from analogue film inspection and conservation to digitisation and image enhancement. In this context, thanks to the high manageability of digital files, the film restoration workflow often follows a digitisation step, which presents many approximations and issues that are often ignored. In this work, we propose an alternative approach to the issues commonly encountered in film restoration (mainly concerning colour and contrast restoration) aiming at restoring the original colour appearance, through models of human colour perception.
