Here's the same frame grab from the BBC broadcast, so I guess that rules out the different coloring, ...

Also, here are my color correcting tools ...

Green shirts. Why did it have to be green shirts! :D

Thanks for the software screenshots. Pretty cool!
I'm not "a colorist"; just some guy analyzing film fade and trying to un-do it based on the way it's faded (which might then allow techniques for automatic or semi-automatic correction). I recognize some of your program's settings; others are new to me, too. At least, after some review, I could see if the numbers I had supplied might present a problem for your use.

A quick go at the fox scene in davinci, correcting secondaries (and I do mean quick) gets me to here ... Which looks close to the references I have.

Thanks for the green shirt ... :O

Those "secondaries" you mentioned are YCM (Yellow, Cyan, Magenta -- the inverse of RGB)? I cringe at approaching the film fade problem with anything besides RGB (Red, Green, Blue), which is why I try to stay away from HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) or variant HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), or the other spectrum segmentation/augmentation tools (I fear such corrections will produce the Hollywood cringe-worthy, visually broken Blu-ray releases we've seen of late ... right GL?). Just a personal research approach.

Can you list numbers for settings, which might be available in a paint program, for your nice green shirt correction? Alternately, could you reproduce it on the LUT-capture frame-strip (above) to see the effect of that cartoon correction on the live action sections?

BTW, awesome looking cel! I suggest the next archive and/or distribution medium incorporate vector frame-reproduction video!!
