Truth be told, I know I'm going to get quite busy soon, so I'm trying to pump out as many projects while I have downtime and don't want to get snagged on one, especially a movie I've never actually seen.
In any case, here are the initial tests, all achieved with the same settings (simply, a blanket regrade) -

Having looked at the trailer posted in another thread, it is still a pretty far cry from the original cinematography, and there already looks like there are minor chroma artifacts popping up. *sigh*

True! I would, but, unfortunately I have neither the commercial BD nor the theatrical footage in high quality.
If Dracula '79 is postponed, it would be nice to add a Bond film to the catalog and get some of those Connery LDs synced.
Not a bad start but basically the same problems I was running into where the skin tones get over exaggerated. Still a lot of those pics look nice and on the right path. Better then the no color version.
I have Devil Rides out on BD and the old DVD. I thought to upscale the old SFX and put them back into the BD master (which has the same color issues as Brides and HOD) but never got around to it.
