g-force: Hmm, but I thought that the samples that dark_jedi had posted from his master .avi file (which are looking great overall, btw! :) ) already had your script run on them? And yet the colors seemed to appear under saturated when compared to the other clip of the same scene that had the saturation levels elevated.

What do you think of the video and screen shot comparisons with varying saturation levels posted on pages 2 and 3 of this thread (link below)?

Maybe it's only in some scenes in each movie that some extra saturation is called for to get closer to the theatrical appearance, with the rest being ok at the 8% boost from the current script?

But I agree that we definitely want to avoid reddish skin, it's most important to keep the flesh tones as accurate as possible. If that means a certain degree of under saturation for the rest of the image, then so be it.
