That is definately better than the previous colour matching attempt but it is not indistuinguishable in terms of colour/image dynamics, the picture on the left looks fine but the picture on the right looks unnatural in terms of fleshtones, Indiana’s eyes in particular look very bad on the right and not at all like the picture on the left. The only thing worse than getting the fleshtones looking unnatural is having the eyes looking unnatural.

This is just nonsense. The RGB values for the flesh tones are identical, as such the flesh tones are identical. The only difference between the two images is the DNR applied to the bluray, which obviously has some effect on some of the image dynamics, which simply cannot be recovered by any methodology, least of all curves adjustment.

There’s no need to call my opinion nonsense DrDre. My eyes see what they see, regardless of whether you agree with them or not. I’ve been respectful to you and i’d appreciate the same courtesy.

We’re just going to have to agree to disagree. I’m not interested in discussing this with you any further until you create a release of Raiders of the Lost Ark using your own methodology. Then we can talk more, but not before.

I do have to admit, it seems a bit strange to me to not want to discuss your work with anyone until they’ve done their own regrade, or at least anyone who’s critical. Why put it on a discussion board in the first place?

I think I’ve done enough in the field of color grading, color matching, and for this community in general to be a party to a discussion on this topic, even if you don’t like what I have to say. In any case, it’s not appreciated, and so I will refrain from making anymore comments on your releases.
