I can’t say I like the way that looks. Is is possible to go somewhere in between?

I don’t like it much either. I think I might recruit a few replacement shots from the bluray, where possible as an alternative.

So what is the point of regrading it in the first place?
We want it corrected don’t we?
Not just another version?

Well, you could argue, that an official release based on the original color timed interpositive would have lower contrast than an original release print. The latter example would be an approximation to such a release, and would have the correct color timing, but lower contrast. However, I’m not really happy with how it looks, so I will stick with the original plan of reproducing the colors of the print, and attempt to replace problematic shots with the regraded bluray shots.

Since you’re replacing some shots anyway, are you going to drop in the shots that are not altered for the Blu Ray?

That’s the plan…

Okay, I must have missed something then.

I believe the plane shot is the only one the blu had that the wowow doesn’t. Maybe the maps shots are different?
