Hello kk650 I've recently tried to drawn a difference between your semi-specialized V2 release and Harmy's respecialized version and tried to compactly define each version.

So from my understanding I get that Harmy's Respecialized edition is his fantastically Despecialized 2.5 version, while bringing back some SE elements, but all the while keeping the same color grading as his 2.5 DE. I don't know what this one actually bases off.

Your Semi-Specialized edition however is directly sourcing the Blu-Ray edition and reverting it as close to the Special Edition as possible, yours including a very close color-palette to the 1997 Special Edition. Right?

At least your edition has a very distinctive, colorful look that reminds me a lot of the SE look, but made a bit more consistent and exposed. Each other release I'm looking at has a very pale and neutral look. Not to say thats a bad thing. But to summarize things:

kk650 Semi-Specialized: SE recreation (colors)

Harmy's DE/Respeialized and probably every other fanedit: Fade-free Technicolor Print recreation (colors)

is that about right?

I'm just slightly surprised by how faded the supposed Technicolor look actually looks. I really love the look of your edition. Cach has it's own flavour, but yes, I'm surprised by your version looks actually healthier than the so-called "Fade-Free" print which should be a flawless rec-reation. Maybe the Technicolor isn't that flawless in the first place?

Anyway good work

(oh and a 16GB of v2 would be a spleen)
