How does this all look for the final result? See for yourself. Along with less tint and more accurate colors, you can rest assured the new version we're working on offers the highest image quality we can achieve.

Also, the filtering is better in ways that reduce grain ghosting and improve luma values, bringing DBZ up to the standards of our more recent projects.

Now here's the good news: All of this was done back in 2021 for DBZ, and we've improved a few things since then. For starters, with the new emphasis on color correction, the aggressive chromatic aberration filter was toned down to bring out more color detail.

But it didn't end there. Chromatic aberration was another problem tackled. If you want to read the full explanation, you can here jysze.github.io/SoM-DBZ-Merg...

In addition, if you ever found the DBOX DVDs blocky, we treated that problem too.

Turns out, there are some differences in the Japanese and North American DBZ Dragon Boxes. Each has different strengths and weaknesses, so we merge both sources to get the best of both worlds.

Our versions of Dragon Ball, DBZ, and DBZ use the Japanese Dragon Boxes. But what exactly is the "merge" of DBZ and why does it matter?

Generally speaking, if we share something here, that means it is of a high quality and may have one or two Seed of Might members that worked on it. But we can't know the status of a random project that uses our broadcast audio track, for example.

If you have questions about something without "Seed of Might" or [SoM] in the title, you have the best chance of getting an answer by asking the group that made the thing you're wondering about.

It's always nice to see groups in the Dragon Ball community using SoM footage, audio, subs, and scans. That being said, if another group uses something we've worked on, it doesn't always mean we're collaborating with them.

There are way more, but this list is getting too long. Other projects include DBZ Level Sets, the Westwood Dub, and non-Dragon Ball projects too.
