unfortunately, there is no quick fix to going to beyond any resolution you are currently working in. taking any film now and making it into a hidef format is lalmost zero work. all the films i have worked on, i worked on them at 2k. 4k is the exception and not the rule. 35mm print has a max res (the scanners anyway) of 8k. it will be a while before we start working at 4k as common place at any rate. the "automation" you speak of is called manpower. it takes a LONG time to ensure the thing you rendered at 2k holds up at 4k, which is 4 times the original size frame wise. it's very very tricky and vertainly time consuming.
