This is excellent information. Thanks, You_Too!
Can you share some examples of the over-represented reds (alongside, possibly, examples of the reds reduced to levels that make more sense)?
First of all, thanks goes to msycamore for pointing out most of the color errors! :)
About the reds: I think maybe a better explanation is that the most saturated colors are there, but when it comes to less high saturation there's mostly reds.
It's like the rest is underrepresented, except for the most saturated. And of course the fact that the GOUT has a very muted contrast range compared to the original prints.
I think this shot shows it a lot:
The rest of the colors are so underrepresented that the pinkish red is also in the skin tones.
Since it's been messed up so much I don't think there is any complete cure. When I made the settings for mine and DJ's project, I tried to balance it better, bring the reds down, bring the rest up, and get back a bit more of the contrast range:
I think for now this is the best we can do.
I've tried histogram matching and things like that, using for example the 70mm shots as reference, but the result always show the flaws of the GOUT and don't look good enough.
