It’s a shadow… But I like the color and I know you are trying to match 2 different transfers as the same color.
All I am saying is, it is giving you a clue what that is meant to look like. And weather you want to pay any attention to small little things like that. It will give you more information about what the film is “Meant to look like”
weather the 35mm looks like that or not is another matter. All I am saying is it’s a clue. No problems with what you are doing, and I am far from an expert but that for me is a indicator.
It’s a key to a door.
Well, there’s two things. I did notice some artifacts in the first regrade, that were fixed in the second regrade, including some yellow artifacts.
Some of the yellow staining appears to me to be color noise, which is present in the print and to a lesser degree for the WOWOW. It is therefore more than likely the staining is present on the negative as well, and therefore as “ugly” as it may be, it is actually supposed to be there.
In either case, the project objective is to match this particular print. However, if I’m misunderstanding your point, please let me know.
