Is part of all this manual adjustment also doing a new scene-by-scene color correction where the faces are color corrected separately from the other colors in each scene? I think it was Mother that showed that the color correction scripts could be set up so that color adjustments would be applied differently depending on what the original color in the video frame was. Obviously faces are different than anything else in the scenes, so the script would adjust their colors differently, according to different values entered into the script, than the correction values applied to all else in the scene. This allows separate fine tuning of the color correction applied to faces.

Just wondering, since it seems the only way to get the colors back as close as possible to where they should be without making the faces appear red or dark is to set that scene-by-scene. Only problem is that it takes a lot of time to do it that way. So I understand if it's not being done like that, but I was curious. :)

A big thanks for all the efforts on this new Blu-ray set! :)
