DrDre, I like colors very much! I’d prefer it less dark, to retain more details in the shadow, but this is just my opinion.

I wonder if this LUT could be applied somehow using AviSynth. Also, could it be used to regrade BD as well (in the corresponding scene/shots, of course)?

Saturation levels are currently set at film like levels, so they are too high for a low resolution transfer like a laserdisc or the GOUT. The LUT won’t work for the bluray, as it specifically is tailored to adjust the GOUT to closely approximate a technicolor print. It seems the color correction applied to the GOUT may have been a single correction to correct the color levels of the faded interpositive after it had been telecined. I don’t think the same treatment could be applied to the bluray, as that was scanned directly from the negative, and therefore does not contain any information about the original color timing.
