One of the questions in grading a print scan, is whether to correctly represent what’s seen on a print, or whether to reduce saturation and contrast to conform to the expectations of a home video release. In this case I opted for the former, but I’m open to suggestions…
Would it make sense to tone down the saturation and contrast on the denoised version and keep the full-blown technicolor look on the one with the natural grain? It seems like we’ve got a perfect opportunity here to have it both ways.
