Would be cool if you created a custom color grade that toned down the piss filter.
You mean a neutral colle grading ? Might check that out but as a separate master then.
Yep, ever since the advent of digital color grading, not only do modern movies constantly receive these unnatural grades, but even older movies suffer from grading revisionism as you’ve shown. Real shame too because the color grading is an important art that seems to be abused with digital tools these days.
