thanks that makes perfect sense - i can see it is best to capture the best range of whats there overall and not whats not there at any given point.

as you were retweaking saturation just wanted to make sure i asked my question at this stage

No problem, I understand your concern. And I actually don't think you clipped any levels on your example, it looks more accurate, but if I went with a setting similar to yours I would blow out details in some other parts later in the transfer, you could of course go shot by shot to get the best results but I will not do that, maybe reel by reel is an good idea, I'll see what I can do.

This stuff is a minefield - one move one way and you screw something else up (i.e. my attempt at more lightness/airiness blew out all the detailing and colours on Lukes belt - probably if I tried to get the belt back something else would fly out the window). I keep wanting there to be a magic tweak even though I've seen a hundred times no released transfer has ever been consistent. I doubt even one overall tweak and then tweaks within that would work totally. It looks like if you really want it tweaked with a capital T you have go through every scene. I am not that careful a person.

Also agreed with above comments this new contrast setting makes it look much cleaner somehow. I never would have thought contast adjust would work to this effect as much
