Okay let’s do this.

I will work on one scene at a time. I will share 3 versions of each scenes, and if you like my project, you can help me tune up my restoration (I am using Davinci Resolve - I am not a pro, but I start to understand the most important buttons!).

I own the original DVD, which has very nice colors. The bluray looks horrible, it’s very dark and I am afraid there is no way to recover some of the darks but maybe Davinci can do miracles 😃

Scene 1 : Anne walks and read poetry in the wood (opening credit).

DVD release : https://mega.nz/file/8OkFSIza#ubGs1NJqR8b2LsmuQMWaftX4gnkCkatUbxJMGZr10hI (56 Meg)
Bluray relase : https://mega.nz/file/BSsFlByL#8Pw5X9GU5ekeD9EtIK4dHCunBktkh7rLC56VH1oudew (56 Meg)
My Davinci touch-ups : https://mega.nz/file/Mb0kHTIZ#e187UXbeqU_vsBQp_6L6pNcemyD-4rG37OiZktV-OsQ (27 Meg)

NOTE : In DaVinci, for this scene, I added an adjustment Clip and…
Node #01 : I adjusted the overall Gamma (0.05), Gain (0.07), Offset (31.35)
Node #02 : I isolated the skin color and adjusted the Temp (320).
Node #03 : I isolated the greens and adjusted the temp (-290.0).

Not bad for a start?
Any help would be appreciated!
