Did you take another look at the desaturated colors in the explosions we talked about yesterday and determine if anything could be done about that? Can’t wait for the release. 😃

Yeah. Actually, although my work on those shots is extremely minimal, it does look a bit more intense than the raw Tn1 shots as I up the contrast (darkening the blacks) and slightly bump the saturation. But no, they cannot be made fiery orange/red like Harmy’s.

Something like that should’ve been picked up in the scan. I don’t think it’s really bleached or anything. And a few example shots I’ve seen from other scans look similar. The flames are a bit more orange in some blasts than others (like the trench explosions). But some, like Red Leader, really do look a bit pale, don’t they? I can’t say conclusively, but this does seem to me the way the print actually looks to some degree. It’s possible that things changed for the GOUT. I just don’t know.

I think there will be some you’ll be happy with and some that will be a bit too pale for you.

Thanks for the explanation. As Harmy just said I’m sure everything will look great when watching the film and not comparing screen shots. 😉

Right! Actually the reason for the change was mostly that it blends with the surrounding shots better. The higher saturated explosion shots also have very green/blue saturation of the trench itself, which is at odds with some other shots. Not blaming Harmy for that, though. The GOUT has some of that going on.
