Hometheater.about.com (7 August 2012).</ref> According to Grover Crisp, executive VP of restoration at Sony Pictures, the new 8K scan has such high resolution that it showed a series of fine concentric lines in a pattern "reminiscent of a fingerprint" near the top of the frame. This was caused by the film emulsion melting and cracking in the desert heat during production. Sony had to hire a third party to minimise or eliminate the rippling artefacts in the new restored version.<ref name="HT4kWay" /> The digital restoration was done by Sony Colorworks DI, [[Prasad Studios]], and MTI Film.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://library.creativecow.net/kaufman_debra/Lawrence-of-Arabia-Restoration/1 |title=CreativeCOW |work=creativecow.net |access-date=8 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911103639/http://library.creativecow.net/kaufman_debra/Lawrence-of-Arabia-Restoration/1|archive-date=11 September 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> A 4K digitally restored version of the film was screened at the [[2012 Cannes Film Festival]],<ref>[http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/article/58952.html Cannes Classics 2012 β Festival de Cannes 2013 (International Film Festival)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170215183141/http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/article/58952.html |date=15 February 2017 }}.
