Regraded Once Upon a Time in America Extended Director's Cut (more colourful version)

[Stamper]

I'm not certain because the US cut was sightly censored so this would be a different IP, but if they are close, then that was the movie.

Just finished Eagle encode using spoRv script, it's very close to kk650 but based on comparisons below (maybe not exact frame) the yellow could be reduced slightly more. Maybe increasing off_u=8 to 9 or 10.

Suggestions would be welcomed.

the black (most noticeable on the suits) looks odd.

Now you've brought that up, I agree, but need suggestions on where to go with script, not the best when it comes to color correction, so any help would be much appreciated.

Some of the black crush comes with the original encode / transfer.

I think it's too bright, shadows are gone from Bob's face at the dinner table.

Color looks ok

It also looks a little too pinkish to my eyes, could any of you offer some script suggestions.

[X5gb]

Brought down the brightness to 0.9 and contrast to 0.95 brings it more in line with kk650 but playing with off_y and off_u still can't get the black suits like kk650. Will wait for suggestions.

You won't get them. The masters are from the same source, but differently graded.

[X5gb]

Maybe if I play with Levels / Histogram I can get it closer.

No harm in trying, but I think the italian master is flawed in that dept.

I don't mind, the most important to me is that the framing is complete and not cropped.
