Each frame of each movie utilized 45MB in disc space in the restoration process.
During the filming of The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), a dresser was bumped during a fight scene, and a camera crew can be seen in the reflection. However, content was not altered in the restoration process, and the camera crew can still be seen reflected in the digitally restored version. A similar gaffe can be seen in Casino Royale (2006).
For the James Bond Film Restoration process, DTS Digital Images (formerly Lowry Digital Images) checked forty two miles of film, removed thirty seven million pieces of dirt, utilized 700 terabytes of storage, extracted seventy four thousand hair fibres and took two and half years to complete.
The restoration scanning rate was 4 seconds per frame. This equates to one hundred hours for every hour of film.
By basing the restoration on the original camera negative, there are no derivative optical generations which can be seen in the release prints. Hence, when the digital restoration is complete, greater color tonality and resolution is achieved compared with the original theatrical release.
