I liked the contrast of your previous version, but the sky really profits from either the reduced contrast or added yellows. DrDre, what if you lower the contrast just by a bit in comparison to the first version?
I fiddled a bit around with Photoshop and multiplied 30% luminance of the new one with the old one, which results in this:http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/196883
I really like it, but it’s just my view through a calibrated, but not professional display.
NeverarGreat, if you don’t want this discussion in your project, I can of course move that to a private topic 😉
Here’s the same colors as the last set with the contrast of the previous set:
The extra contrast takes away the “film” look to me completely. REALLY liked the flatter one with “compromise” yellows though, seemed to be a great balance between “heavily stylized” and “raw camera footage.”
Wish we could all load into a van and go watch the tech with you! I hope that comes to fruition for you!
