Your 0.4 version looks better. I don't like the previous one at all.

Is it possible to overlay the spanish LD chroma onto the "pyramid" LD luma, but it makes any sense, as the problem of clipped white levels stay in the chroma... so if you make that way, the problem will be still present!

Oh, I see. I thought clipped white levels only affected the luma.

I know that one cannot de-DNR something, but in your previous shots I greatly preferred the look of the Spanish LD. (I still do in terms of color. I don't really care whether it's right or not.) That was the reason I suggested a hybrid.
