Hi, thanks for your comments.
The reason of the too high white level could be one of the following:
- the PAL LD master
- the wrong capture levels
- the white magic script itself
- the "amount" of white magic (test is 60%)
I suspect that could be also the sum of more than one factor - infact, I made the test using one of the first captures I made with the levels not properly adjusted, as far as I could remember...
For the oversharpening: it must be the third and/or the fourth option.
But, as I'm on vacation and away from my PC for the next two weeks, I can't check by myself, but someone like Moth3r could say if the first option could be true or not. Anyway, my brain is "working" on possible solutions, also if in "abstract mode"...
BTW, if you think this is only a version 0.2 of the script, it's not too bad, isn't true? There is surely space for improvements!
