i downloaded the 1080p version of Rebels and immediately noticed the image seemed unusually bright. a comparison with my blu-ray rips revealed not only a difference in brightness but also loss of detail.

it’s especially noticeable on faces where it sometimes makes skin look like it’s literally glowing.

i don’t usually notice or look for this kind of thing but it was immediately apparent that the image looked off. idk if this is an unintended effect of your process converting to 4k and then back to 1080p or intentional, but i have to say i much prefer the original look. also, i proceeded to compare your clone wars 1080p version with the blu-ray and found similar brighness increase, though it didn’t seem as pronounced in the few shots i checked. unfortunately, i don’t have the equipment to enjoy your 4k hdr upscales which seem to be the primary goal of your project, so i understand if this isn’t worth addressing.
