Following some heated discussions I decided to create a thread on the balancing of the colors of the Raiders of the Lost Ark bluray, which borders on an orange and teal color grading. While a shot by shot correction will naturally give you the most freedom to manipulate the colors, it’s still interesting as a test case to explore how the colors of the official release might be improved single correction of the entire film.
This will be an interactive thread, meaning that the color grading will evolve depending on your comments and suggestions. I will be sharing LUTs of each of these iterations, such that you can create the version of the movie you like best. At some point I might render (or some other volunteer) a final release version, but this is first and foremost a thread to experiment, explore, discuss and learn from each other.
I’ve created a first version to start the discussion. Here are the first five screenshots (more will follow):
