[Test] Aliens open matte

[BronzeTitan]

A suggestion for adding the HD-TV trims to the Blu-ray: fix the Blu-ray's damaged blue-layer. There are heavily splotched areas (typical blue-layer film damage) that makes their re-graining look like sand and throws off it's colors in those dark areas. A slight expansion on the low end, followed by a gentile edge-preserving smooth, should make it similar to the HD-TV's blue-layer & color.

I haven't been able to find one larger than ~10GB. If you happen to come across a hyperlink to it I'd greatly appreciate if you could PM it to me. Thanks!

I'd be interested in a hyperlink as well.

As screenshotcomparison deleted old comparisons, I've uploaded new, revised ones here - now using two sources for open matte, and a new regrading script: https://diff.pics/6ElVQnasv6Z2/4

That's pretty great! Can't wait for this definitive edition!

I picked up the older blu-ray and it does not have the green tint. why don't you just use that. It's actually pretty accurate too to what the film should look like. Although the extended scenes for the extended cut differ in color timing slightly.

Basically I am just wondering why fix this version when the older version would be less work possibly? or is the new anthology blu ray have something much better about it?

[Beber]

What are you talking about, Ronster? There never were 2 different Blu-ray transfers, were there? As far as I know, there's only one that's been repackaged again and again...

[spoRv]

Yep, we are aware of just one version; but if you have a different one, please post comparisons!

[Ronster]

I could be wrong... I do make mistakes but in the UK this was what I picked up the other day... It does say "not for individual sale on it" now looking at the back so it could be part of a box set.

Fox have just repackaged the first four discs from the rather excellent Anthology set over and over again and dressed it up with new packaging sadly.

Has anyone got around to looking at the Documentaries on the alien Saga DVD?

They are on those alien Appendix bonus bootlegs too.... I just think you lot would love that!
