Do we know for a fact that the colder SF colour timing is correct?

John Carpenter signed off the original Scream, as far as I am aware (obviously, Evit's is a tweaked version of that) which could just mean he had a quick glance and took his pay cheque.
Dean Cundey approved the Studio Canal but is notorious for changing his ideas on color timing on a per transfer basis (The Thing Scream vs Arrow and Halloween come to mind).
I'm sure someone more in the know (SpoRv or Evit most probably) can pipe in here and confirm which is closer to a theatrical print. I'm sure one of them will see a new project based around the 4k.
Until then, take your pick.

IIRC, there was a Spanish BD with more image than Shout... am I wrong?

Not sure about the Spanish Bd (is there any screenshot's available for comparie), more concerned with the off center look of the Studio Canal (rather than which has the most image), the Scream did this better although still very slightly off by around 18 pixels (as confirmed by someone on the forum with blu in the title) which I can happlly live with. Would be a perfect candidate for auto-overlay to fix (along with The Fog which is zoomed on all four sides compared to the Scream), just wish I was more clued up with how to use it.

Now you mention the name Divisa, I vaguely remember the frame of that bluray been discussed. Question is does anyone have it to work with otherwise the Scream could be used as an alternative.
Color timing wise I quite like the look of the Studio Canal which appears to be the best of all worlds although some claim the Scream is closer to theatrical outside of the blown out contrast bits.
