Thanks for posting all of those screenshots PDB. The thing I love about this forum is everyone is truly passionate about film. I agree with you that Raiders should be a bit more yellow and that the jungle scenes were a bit less green. I think they went overboard with orange on the blu-ray to the point that I don't enjoy watching it. It's over saturated and too much teal.  And I don't like the washed out appearance of some of it.

I received my Super 8 version of Raiders today. It's about 15 minutes long and does a pretty decent job of condensing the movie and featuring some of the big moments. It slighly faded but color is pretty good overall. Some daylight scenes are a bit overexposed.

It seems to match up to the wowow in places and blu-ray in others. I never quite see the orange haze but there is more yellow. One thing that struck me is how much darker the ark opening scene is. The ghosts are bright and look more glowing while the background is much darker.  I will work on getting some screenshots posted.
