Well, the AOTC Blu-ray colors are all fucked up and there’s a ton of DNR and other processing done to it. That’s why 95% of all fan edits and other fan projects for AOTC are done using the high-bitrate HDTV caps, which have the right color and, even after some processing to reduce compression artifacts, more detail than the Blu-ray.
I’d be more surprised if your scans resembled the Blu-ray at all.
interesting and kind of ridiculous as no way HDTV should be able to beat blu
so does the HDTV stuff look like my scans in terms of color and luminance curve?
the more I compare to my scans the more I can see they did various bits of DNR and digital noise smoothing and even hidden sharpening and so on with the filtering hitting areas of low contrast more
