Dude you are the one who replies to me when I was talking to Pride9000!!! when we were both trying to match to cel. If you don't buy the idea, don't join the conversation.
You responded to me with a picture of your color chart and have been parading it around in this thread like it is the holy grail for color correction and a bullet proof method for pages on end, don’t want people to comment on a public forum about it? don’t post it.
I have issues with you declaring it as the undisputed king when it comes to accuracy, but no good examples came from you that it is. If I’m not mistaken, you initially brought it up a couple of years ago because you thought that the traditional method of white balancing first and then hue shifting would be too slow and impractical. (It isn’t because it has already been done)
People like Ashura, Vanner, Pride9000, iKaos…plenty of others have done a great job at color correcting the Dragon Boxes without causing any artifacts. So don’t get pissy at other people for questioning your chart’s practicality or accuracy for correcting the Dragon Boxes.
Because you have shown yourself with the pictures that you posted that it is
worthless for achieving that goal. Even when another user here, Venny posted and highlighted the sheer amounts of artifacts in the image that the color chart produces when applied on the Dbox footage. The only thing you could respond to him was something along the lines of that he “ignored context and that the framing was disgusting” Meanwhile the people who have done the work at color correcting the Dragon Boxes, you keep insulting for no reason whatsoever. I'm getting tired of this arrogance and hypocrisy!
What are you saying dude??
I will explain it in another way for you, because you clearly are having such a hard time with this for some reason. Hypothetically speaking if I had a time machine and I used it to go back in time to watch Dragon Ball as it was brand new and intended. You know when the film reels had those fresh, not faded out colors, And watch it on the most expensive professional TV set I can find in the 80s and 90s, with the best accuracy. I could stake my life on the line that the colors that I would be seeing ARE NOT the ones that fall outside of BT601. That little fact means that any colors within your chart that are FAAAR outside of that color space are therefore not accurate. It’s simple when you think about it.
I think this point is self-explanatory enough at this point and I have already stated it in a different froms multiple times to you at this point. I’m pretty sure others at least got what I’m trying to say. i'm not gonna repeat it to you. If you still somehow don't get it.
This clearly shows that you don't know anything about scanner calibration. Scanner Calibration 101: What do you do when your scanner drifted? You calibrate it again, duh.
The people from Calibrite and Silverfast may want to speak with you because you're basically saying that their device and software are useless lol.
Yes there is software that can cross check by comparing the color of the scanned image of the IT8 target and its reference file, and I did that already lol.
I will go and read up on this because I have some serious doubts you did this correctly but don’t worry, I will get back to you when I do.
Just a piece of advice though, I wouldn’t go around making assumptions about what other people know and don’t know about a particular topic. Especially when you yourself have shown BLATANT signs to be the walking definition of the Dunning Kruger effect ITT.
Then you even flat out admit that you don’t have the Dragon Boxes and used a picture of KAI instead! With a Delta E of 5? (Holy moly, I don’t even have to read more, to know that the result is bad!) And that’s with HD footage to boot! Just imagining the Delta error with SD footage like the Dragon Boxes is making me
Seriously, why are you even in a thread that’s about
coloR correcting the Dragon Boxes specifically? Because you clearly don’t give a crap about doing that. Look, I have ZERO issues with you making a thread called something like...
“Color Correcting some imaginary version of Dragon Ball that we don’t have access to!”
“What colors would Dragon Ball have if it was re animated?”
“What would happen if we used this color chart to mess up the colors of Kai?”
See this is my FUNDAMENTAL problem with you and your posts!
It’s like I’m talking to a child who hasn’t even read the thread title and what the issues that people are dealing with is. And yet he is going to go around and imply that people are illiterate and blind??? Good grief… the smugness on display for posts on end is truly something else.
