Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

for those that asked for the pics, here they are: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6bcyx ... correct.7z

extract the archive with 7zip and then just open the Kanzenshuu html web page in the folder and you should be able to see the guide with pics.

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

For anyone curious how to get the string value to use the curves directly in Avisynth WITHOUT using GiCoCu, the way Ashura did when they linked the example DBE06.avs (http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19448&start=20#p530742) This is how to get that string value: http://foru...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Well I did finish the script so that it picks the pixel that most closely matches the average colors :) and posted the link. I don't think there is much else to share? Also SpeedGrade can be installed as a trial, so you could definitely use it some without paying for it, but I totally know what you ...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Been playing around with speedgrade the last couple days, there seems to be a ton of control for color correction, but so far I feel completely lost when it comes to using this tool. I have been watching a lot of guides. here is how I got my dvd into it: Index your dvd with dgindex. next create a .a...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

latest script: http://www.mediafire.com/?t178xr2jopbe6oy youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjEjxamglS4 The script now selects the pixel closest to the average values for the group of pixels within the guides. So far the results look good, I have compared the old script to the new script, comp...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

yes, I was planning to do the same. My idea was to use a square selector type tool instead of guides and then have it do the calculations on the pixels within the selection. If you wanted to get really fancy you could have several options for the selector type tool, square, circle, and something lik...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

It depends on how your write it, but the overall answer is yes. instead of using absolute coordinates, I tried to use relative coordinates which should make it work on most systems. IE: $middlescreenw = @DesktopWidth/2 $middlescreenh = @DesktopHeight/2 and finding target windows position and using a...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

Yeah, I plan to modify the script to try an average pixel approach. I modified it yesterday so that it would work with CS6 in addition to CS5. (colorpicker has different dimensions, and window title)

well I have done a bit more experimenting. After reading this: http://www.larryjordan.biz/ppro6-fast-color-correction/ this paragraph in particular: NOTE: Her black vest is also gray (the color), but when it comes to color correction, we have the greatest latitude when we correct mid-tone (50%) gray...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

A native photoshop plugin would without a doubt be better. you would have direct access to controls instead of using coordinates and it would be faster too. I actually looked into exactly what you are thinking. I have never created a photoshop plugin before, so it would have taken more time. I am fa...

I wrote a small autoit script to speed up the process of using Ashura's color cast removal guide. here is a youtube link of it in action: http://youtu.be/tjEjxamglS4 You follow the guide as outlined by Ashura, the only difference is you use ruler guides in photoshop to box in a section of white. the...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

It also depends on what the original colorspace was. My R2 dragonboxes are originally YV12, so this is what I have been using to convert back: ConvertToYV12() but that is what I have read about converting as well, is that you do lose some information. However I have also read that it is much easier ...

I was hoping to get through the entire color correcting process without converting to rgb, but I am still reading more threads because there might be something else I missed. here is a thread I just started, for an idea I came up with, for those that are familiar with avisynth: http://forum.doom9.or...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

I love this! I have been reading about ways to do this without the conversion to rgb. I have also read that you only suffer a noticeable quality loss if you convert back and forth many times, and that just once to rgb and back to yv12 shouldnt suffer much quality loss. I have found one way of doing ...

Re: Dub Sound Sync Z Movies Singles vs DF/Double Features

So is the english dub audio ok on all of the Funi Blurays with the exception of Coolers Revenge?

If so then I could get the blurays and also pickup the single for coolers revenge.

Dub Sound Sync Z Movies Singles vs DF/Double Features

I have read that on the Blu Ray Coolers revenge Double feature that the audio sync is off. but that it is ok on the singles release. I am curious of all the Funi Dub Z movie releases audio wise which is best. I think I may have also read somewhere that the singles Dub audio was from tape and that th...
