Btw, I noticed a new digital tweak that was made just for the blu ray: the first long shot of Indy and Marion against the night sky during the ark opening scene has been changed. They are tied to a light pole and the light has always been turned off in that shot. It's a mistake because it is on in the other shots. In the blu-ray it has been digitally altered to be turned on. Weird that it would be changed while the clipper shot is reinstated as the original.

I'll try to post screenshots later.

Interesting, have to check that out. Maybe an extensive comparison of all the matte shots in the film should be done.

For those who are putting the BD on a pedestal, there are more than just two ways to look at this, just because the BD is warm and the DVD/HD Broadcast is cold doesn't automatically make the BD a faithful representation of the original timing.

There's no question about it that Raiders was much warmer than what many are used to nowadays and what is seen in the Lowry transfer. But obviously there exists different types of warmth and the BD timing is not seen as a faithful representation by all viewers. I simply don't see the golden hues in the BD everyone speaks of, I see a dull orange tinge.

If you reduce the blue/cyan and increase the yellow on the transfers of the DVD/HD Broadcast you will end up with something much closer than the BD.
