I was thinking about ... yellow ... and had to look into that last shot. :)

The good news is that, yes, I was able to squeeze some yellow out of that shot. Naturally, I cheated, by looking at the actual movie to guide the color adjustments.

The bad news is that it was tough and the settings had to twist some to do the job. They're probably only good for this shot and, maybe, a few others. Try it! Applying it to "the lost scene" seems to produce a very dark picture.

Anyway, these are the settings that did the trick (ImageShack won't allow any more of my .ACV files so just copy in the numbers, below). [Just a note -- the default for the graph generation is spline. However, with points this tight, the graph becomes a squiggle (an obvious design bug) and needs more control points to counter-act that. A better selection would have been point-to-point. BTW, graph-type can be changed back and forth with points already on the graph, but I didn't want to change the approach mid-stream.] :
