[Idea] Silent Hill (2006) - open matte & "before color timing"!

This looks really cool! Kinda digging the more natural look. I wish screenshotcomparison links still worked. I've learned to just be disappointed now when I see one

Fixed the not-working link, that is this:

After reviewing the "natural" version and my regrade, I noted that sometimes mine was still too blueish; so, touched a bit, to be even more natural:

difference seems subtle, but it is quite noticeble in full screen! Now, the "spirit" of the "natural" version is very close in color, but using HD-DVD/open matte contrast (tweaked a bit) gives it an even better quality IMHO. And, what do you think?

Note: in at least one instance, BD is zoomed in, losing image on all sides;

I really quite love this natural-color grading, especially since it actually makes the movie more akin to the color palette in the games it's based on, especially when looking back at Silent Hill 2.

Yep, I think that original grading is too blueish, while "natural" one is closer to the videogames atmosphere.

PC is processing pass 1 - it will take two days ; pass 2 will follow, maybe it will take another two or three days... stay tuned!

P.S. Any interest in Silent Hill: Revelation UAR (and eventual regrade)?

Pass 1 interrupted (thanks, Windows automatic update!); it will (re)start soon.

Meanwhile...

(final version would be UAR, though!)

Pass 1 finished, pass 2 halfway; pass 3 will discard pass 2 bad shots due to greenscreen, and replace them with pass 1 slightly color corrected to recall pass 2... it will take some days (I hope)
