New script, new shots.

I read the concerns and comments, and took a look again (still didn't test with g-force's script.)

It is apparent that there are really strong primary colors in the film.  The reds are true red (once the hue is adjusted +5).  Similarly, the blues start peaking at pure blue.  So now I adjust the all colors with the hue tweak.

I also knocked the Red back down to 90%.  Similarly, I lowered the Green and Cyan so they don't exceed the 75% boxes. 

This helps with some of the green issues.  To fix the orangey complexions I more conservatively increased yellow only 25% (along with the Magenta).

Blue I still increase strongly because the movie always feels like it needs more (which looking at the Technicolor print you can see they were lost completely in some scenes somewhere in the transfer process.)

Anyway, by reducing some additional colors and being more conservative with others that were causing problems, the reds which felt right originally (even though we know they're wrong), are now not washed out by the desaturation.

 

hue(channels="RYGBMC", hue=5) #Adjust hue "CCW"
hue(channels="YM", sat=1.25)
hue(channels="B", sat=1.4)
hue(channels="R", sat=0.9)
hue(channels="GC", sat=0.95)

 

Anyway, to my eye, this is the best looking version so far.

@DJ: Did you disable g-force's Levels() adjustment when you inserted my filters?
