It's a new week, so we're going back in the vault! I saved the requests since last week and added them to the folder, which is growing as members talk to me. Since we remastered a video last time, it makes sense to alternate back to photos. Once again I took all the requested titles, randomized the list, and ran with the winner. This week, we're going with the “Rock Out” request by Ariesmercwar here on Freeones.
"Rock Out" wins the random draw.
The original release was 1067 by 1600 on the longest side; the new Ultimate Collection version is again nearly double the size at 2000x3000 pixels.
There were 120 pictures in the original release. Of the 207 raw photos, 195 are now in the Ultimate Collection version. The twelve pictures I skipped were blinks, face bloopers, out of focus, or test fires on the flash. Like last time, there were no pictures that I skipped or edited for being too revealing, etc.

Because there were SO MANY photos in this set to remaster, it took me an extra day to prepare them.
As always, I think the most interesting parts of a remaster is seeing what was cut from the first release. So let's take a look at the notable parts of what's new.
WHAT DID WE FIND?
You can see that the previously released photos were cropped freehand into an unusual shape. Now for the first time, we can see what was censored from the frame.
In marine biology: the majestic starfish.
Some forensic zooming reveals that wrinkles of the asshole were carefully erased in some of the photos originally released. The only thing more marvelous than that sentence to me is the fact that it's true.
It winks every time you blink.
Depending on a person's preferences, you might think of asshole removal as either very classy high-end Photoshop work, or a psychopathic degree of retouching. I'll recuse myself from judging. I once had a friend walk into my office and catch me digitally removing crumbs from the floor in a photo gallery where the rug had needed to be vacuumed, so... maybe we all go a little OCD sometimes.
AWWW Yisss, I could photoshop-vacuum this all day.
All these new booty pics at the end might be the best documentation of Kari's Hall of Justice yet – and certainly that I can remember seeing.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ariesmercwar. Good eye on the cropped photos, if that's what you'd noticed - this was an interesting pick!
I'll add a video next week to the Ultimate Collection. If you have an idea for what video should be remastered next, add your request to the mix! Tweet at me with the name of the set or a sample picture.
