| Display Text | DRS/Paint Fix Error |
| Description | "DRS/Paint Fix Error" is the obvious or improperly implemented cover up of an underlying issue, such as a digital hit, dead pixel, dirt/stain, etc. |
| 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. |
| Blocker | N/A |
| Solutions | |
| 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. |
