| Impact |
A poorly applied DRS/paint fix draws unintended attention to the location of the error, and in some cases, may be more distracting than the original issue. |
| Severity Assessment Guidance |
| FYI |
DRS/paint fix is faintly visible with minor inconsistencies in the grain/noise structure and color of the affected area. It is not over a main character or in the main focus of action. |
| Issue |
Defined outline or “block/box” shape is visible over area where the fix was applied. Grain/noise density and color of affected area very obviously do not match the surrounding portions of the frame/shot.

| How to Prevent |
Review all paint fixes for obvious mattes or defined outlines indicating a poorly implemented fix. |
| How to Fix |
May require additional time in picture finishing to “smooth out” the applied fix, or fix the error with a different method. |
