I appreciate the feedback guys but I much prefer the colour and image dynamic of my own release compared to DrDre’s regraded screencaps here, the difference is night and day to me.

The biggest issue I have is that the fleshtone colours look very unnatural to me in all of DrDre’s screenshots, especially the screenshots where Indiana’s about to grab the idol and when he shoots the guy with the sword. Fleshtones are the most important thing in a regrade IMHO, those have to look right or you´ll end up taking people out of the film, because viewers spend most of the time watching the faces of the characters. Image dynamics are also an issue, they feel underexposed and there is still a blanket yellow tint that hasn’t been removed, making the sky look greenish blue. My release removes all the blanket yellow tint, bringing all the blues back into the colour palette of the film.

My previous releases were more conservative and I didn’t commit fully to removing the blanket yellow tint in its entirety, leaving some of the yellow blanket tint like DrDre did in his screencaps, but now I am able to be a lot more precise when it comes to removing all the blanket tint.
