It doesn't stand out so badly when watched on it's own, but when watched after the 2004 HD, it kinda does. I did that shot in AE (while I'm not particularly fond of it, because it's a bit too complex for me, it's still the best software for things like that.) It would be a lot of work to recolour the eyes, because I'd have to animate the mask very precisely, frame by frame. With a wider area I was able to use just a few keyframes. But it was just an experiment. I am gonna put it in the reconstruction since it's already done and it should be much less noticeable there because the resolution will be the same for both sources (GKAR is PAL anamorphic and the HD footage will also be downscaled to that). But I'll consider doing it the way you suggested for the Blu-Ray sourced version of PDE. Or maybe as that is partly despecialized edition, I'll just reinstate the eyebrows and leave the eyes blue.
