Color grading issue... I found that the BD and the DVD have completely different color gradings, but... which is "right"? I'm aware that the BD seems more natural; but Twohy used some warm grading in his movies (Pitch Black, Riddick) and I feel that the BD has too "cold" colors, while DVD has too "warm" ones... maybe a balance between them is the grading to use for the final project.
What do you think?
From top to bottom:
- untouched BD;
- corrected BD;
- 50% mix between ColourMatch'ed BD using DVD as color reference, and the corrected BD;
- DVD.

this time the BD is warmer and DVD is cooler; following the "SnowWhite rule", I should choose the mix here!

this reminds me "Jurassic Park"... following what most people think about JP 3D, that it has the "right" color grading, then the DVD has almost the same one, so I should go for it...

Still continue to think that the mix has the best overall grading, not too cold nor too warm. But of course opinions are needed, as I'd like to start to work on this ASAP.
