Wow! I don't know how you did it but everything seems to have more presence with this new change. All the faces seem to be more full-bodied, like real solid objects and less like flat images - how did you do this?

Yeah I agree! I ended up with this by trying more changes, simple as that!

You gotta post a clip with this setting!

The advances you have made since your first attempt are impressive - this one is a major advance.

I will post a clip soon for sure. And yeah, there's been a lot of advances but that's how it is. Working progressively one eventually ends up with a good result. Takes some time but in this case it sure was worth it.

EDIT: I made a couple minor new updates for the script. The first one is I lowered the saturation just slightly, so the movies don't feel too oversaturated. I got that feeling especially with skin tones. Now it feels a bit more natural but still more colorful than the raw GOUT.

I also changed the values for the resize at the bottom of the script. Now it corrects the aspect ratio while keeping all vertical lines of pixels. Though it's for the PAL version, of course.

EDIT: After weighing pros and cons I decided to leave the saturation. When I lowered it, it took away a bit of that overall theatrical print look. With saturation unchanged, the movies look more like those 70mm scans and I think that's not a bad thing!
