Company founder John Lowry came to the job with a unique pedigree in imaging. In 1971, he started Image Transform, a company that processed live images from Apollo 16 in 1972 and pioneered video-to-film in the early 1970s. Lowry left Image Transform and spent time in Canada building timebase correctors and synchronizers. But his cutting-edge stretch in Hollywood wasn’t forgotten. Lowry teamed up with company President Michael Inchalik, an engineer at Cinesite in the early days, and founded Lowry Digital Image in June 1998. The company’s initial, rather abstract, goal was to improve the theatrical experience without changing projection technology. "I wanted to extract more information to survive the multi-generation printing process," explains Lowry.

I have the Bond suitcase in which all films have been restored. Stunning,they look like,especially Dr.No,like films set in the sixties,not made in the sixties. I can't believe they could be better on blu ray,could they?
