For a few months I’ve been toying around with doing a basic single pass correction (minus crawls) to the entirety of the Blu-ray files. While I have other threads correcting the Blu-rays, they are aimed at downgrading to the '97 SE (my personal favorite of the SEs). This project is geared at simply correcting the Blu-rays and providing templates for users to create their own editions from.
Please note, these colors are not theatrically accurate. Rather, they are geared towards reversing the effects of the grading for the Blu-rays. From these corrections, the editor can decide how they want to proceed with their edit. Additionally, I know there are much more issues with the Blu-rays – but that can be saved for whoever wants to edit their edition.
If any of these corrections do not seem right (in terms of levels, contrast) please let me know. I want to make a basis for the fans.
Special thanks to Dr.Dre and Harmy for indirectly providing very good example for me to base these corrections off of.
