[In progress] [FanColorFix] Book of Eli Re-Colorized

[deleted user]

Nice project, Tom! I like the new color palette!

Some suggestions:

• I'd lower the saturation of the red
  
• I don't see the point of 10bit encoding, where many HD displays (even the most expensive) and video card are not capable of render them... I'd stay (for the moment, at least) with 8bit, not only for the eventual BD compatibility, but also to not "waste" video bitrate for a version that would be correctly displayed by few ones.
  
• And, if you'll go with 8bit (and possibly BD compatibility), FLAC should be discarded as well!
  

And if you like classifications, yes, I'd say this is a fan edit.

Thanks!

I played around with lowering the red but I really like that intense red glow in indoors scenes, and didn't want to go without it. Call it my personal preference.

10bit for a few reasons:

1. I read that 10bit x264 is more efficient than 8bit x264. In fact, this seems to be true even for 8-bit material! Weird, huh? Apparently that's due to different quantization used by 10-bit x264.

2. The regraded result will be 16-bit anyway. So why not save with a bit more fidelity? It's cool for screenshots AND for those who maybe want to fix brightness or color a little while watching (as the 2 more bit will prevent crushed blacks and the likes).

Not gonna discard FLAC, but as noted above, I'll make it simple for anyone who cares to make themselves a Bluray compatible version.

And I don't really care for classifications but I thought others here might. Probably the best term would be "Color Fix" as used by Vinnie. I'll add that to the title.
