It is, admittedly, a bit confusing.

Happy to test if you need some eyes!

Thanks Farstarbuck, maybe once I finish the DC. Back to work on it:

BD/BR regrade

Here is a picture comparison between the original BD and the two regrades

BD/Restored Theatrical Cut Regrade/Restored Director's Cut Regrade

I like the last regrade best!

Great, make sur you don't clip the whites too much like in the Rachel cigarette shot. Half of her cheek is now clipped white. Just tone it down a little bit so that it looks better.

Cosign for the last one as well.

Thanks spoRv, that's the DC. It seems for the most part to be half way between the colors of the Criterion (yellow/golden cityscapes and interiors) and the commercial BD (dark green ending) but still have some of it's own unique shots (ie the orange-ish skin tones at the noodle shop)

I disagree, it's not clipping. It's high to be sure but not over the line per the scopes. It's still in the broadcast safe zone of the RGB parade.


(first shot I could pull up at work, I'll get the exact one later but they are the same)

The scopes read her cheek the mid 90s so still below the line.



The LD pushes it to be sure but the original BD is still in the high 80s/low 90s. So no data is lost.

OK it depends on the screen. On my macbook it looks ok, on my monitor it looks clipped, so there's probably a balance so that it looks good everywhere

The 4k looks different yet again
