Yes, depending on footage shadow values tended to brighten up a bit.
Could well have been a straight mismatch implemented while piping into ffmpeg x264.
Back then in a good number of cases I inserted a "lowering shadow values" gamma curve after Topaz (SmoothAdjust16),
but these days I am telling 2.6.4 to render into ProRes to lift further processing chain into 10bit precision.
super-xbr: I haven't tried seriously any other than VEAI after I got ridiculous and still watchable 450%..900% 4K upscales working, just for fun. But maybe I should someday...
