What I really meant was automating the adjustment of the histograms to match the GOUT image. I can probably write a program to do it on a pair of frames, then those results could be put into an AviSynth script to correct the colours for that scene.

Not that I want to be an apologist, but for that particular shot/scene, I think somewhere between the two would be a good compromise - the blue one is too blue, but the GOUT colours look a little too studio-like to me.

I believe Photoshop CS has a colour matching tool - has anyone tried it on something like this?

PS:

Some pretty bad burn marks visible on those frames...
