I'm honestly no expert on video technicalities but know a good one when I see. So, sorry, bud.
Say, wouldn't it be better to use Kai TFC as your Blu-ray source fir comparison than FUNimation's shitty Season Blu-rays? I dunno which episode that Mr. Satan appears on otherwise I'd provide a lossless screenshot.
kai tfc don't have right colors so not worth using innacurate colors to cc, you only have to rely on cels scan but only those that have been scanned properly calibrate .
about his cc it's like i suspected he just removed the color cast but sadly it's not the only need in matter of cc, you have to correct colors too Mr satan skin tone in the bluray is for example good but not on your cc
Yes, I only removed the colour cast, as I said in my earlier post. I think almost everyone agrees on removing the colour cast, but when you start changing colours etc, that's when things get a bit subjective. I'm still on the fence about changing the black and white levels.
white and black balance is only part of the job , color correcting is the whole process, the game is to match how it was looking originally (else it's color alteration not color correction) but there is lot of things to keep in mind
- film have so much degrade and each part was stored differrently so you need to color correct each part separately
- in one part of the episode, you can have 0, 1 or some part were colors degrade differrently so sometimes you have to isolate those part
- all flashback need separate color corrections as they are from others episodes having differrent color cast, recaps sometimes need it too
- you have no true and 100% accurate references to match as even cels degrade, what was shot on film already have slight colors alterations, you have plenty of cels but they degrade too so you need thoses that are from episodes and in good conditions and also, you need to be aware that on film colors, luma etc are not exactly the same, you can have a really nice and very details cels
If only there was one release not degraded to see how each episode would look exactly it could have help a lot, some people on the web swear they have accurate colors in theirs color correction but there is no evidence that episodes should look like that, maybe some colors are little too off etc...
