That Senator cap looks terrible, there is barely any detail on the buildings in the background, the whites are far too blown out.
The Senator photos are almost certainly too bright most of the time. However I'd say they are far closer in luminosity to the original than the DVD/Blu-ray, and even the GOUT. My purpose was to show that some of the shots in Despecialized are still too dark, with highlights that are still too green. Take a look at the cup in the foreground - in other shots, that cup is white and even blue, as well as in the Senator photo. But as far as anyone knows, the cup is supposed to be white:
As long as it's green, the correction isn't entirely correct. And it is a small detail, but color correction demands attention to such details, for they often lead to uncovering systemic issues, such as the green highlights or the blue and pink tones throughout the movie. I believe that addressing these on a global basis is the best way to deal with the problem, for they are often global changes and aren't limited to a single shot or scene.
