Hi, I’ve recently made my own regrade of this film, as the KK one was a bit too low bitrate for my tastes. I believe I’ve done a pretty good job, with even less teal showing through:

Here are the encoding settings used on the KK650 render (video stream size: 14.1 GiB):

- Which source are you comparing to in your screenshots?
- How was your grading applied, scene by scene?
- Which release are you using as the basis for your regrade: 35mm print, Laserdisc, Image DVD…?
The source in the screenshots is from the remastered blu-ray. I used the same settings for the entire film, not scene-by-scene. I basically lowered the color temperature, slightly increased the exposure to counteract the lowering of brightness, and increased the red to further counteract the cyan. I was using the kk650 regrade as my basis, as well as my own tastes in trying to eliminate cyan without going too far in the other direction.
