Who thought it was a good idea to completely ruin the atmosphere

>>160026380
So TV is the superior version?

>>160026457
Yes, but the quality is pure trash. The pre-renewal DVD has the right colors too, but I can't find a rip of it.

>there are people who actually care about this
autism is one hell of a drug

>>160026380
Left looks much better than right.

>>160026543
They do look like shit though, the atmosphere is completely ruined. The scenes had different tints in original DVD/TV, they removed them completely in Renewal.

>>160026572
But it's supposed to look cold and sterile, it's on a UN ship.

>>160026380
The only one that looks bad is sephirotic.

>>160026718
Out of context, yes, but the point is that they've ruined the entire series by normalizing all the colors.

>>160026637
You realize that color works the same way regardless of where you are, right?

>>160026380
>color balance change
>"completely ruin the atmosphere"
You're exaggerating I think. Otherwise explain to us non-autists how color balance could matter this much. I get it was a bad choice, but it doesn't matter so much.

Yes, but they probably use energy-saving lights which in 1997 had a much colder tone.
>>160027041
It's not very apparent when you just look at loose screenshots like this, but as a whole it really pulls it together. Here's another example.

I wanted to rewatch this, but couldn't decide which version to watch. I want high resolution but at the same time hate the changed colors.

>>160027419
Your best bet is probably pre-renewal dvd if you can find it, the quality isn't horrible.

>No true blacks and off timing colors are good

>>160027531
>no true blacks
You lose detail with true blacks, and that's only for that specific scene.
>off timing colors
elaborate

>>160026637
it still looks cold and sterile

>>160027419
pick sephirotic he tried to restore the original colors scene by scene + you probably dont remember the original colors anyway

When did """"""this""""""" become a thing ?

>>160026637

It's supposed to look cold and sterile but that it's not supposed to look is cheap and faded

>>160027691
But he failed horribly. Sephirotic is in the bottom right corner, there's hardly any difference.

>>160027803
Yes, this is because it's the 480i master they sent out to broadcast if you're talking about the haloing. The colors don't look "faded" in all scenes, for example >>160027103
I couldn't find any rip of the pre-renewal DVD to compare with.

>>160026579
>muh atmosphere
I'm sorry but if atmosphere for you is "how bright colors are" then it's nothing but your own autism.

>>160027894
It's not a matter of how bright they are. In the pre-renewal tv masters/home video dvd, the scenes have individual tint. This is destroyed in the remasters to look better in screenshots.

>>160027645
That's the point.

Anymore examples? Interested.

>>160026380

Except those were the original, intended colors. Old processing and recording methods fucked up the colors and sharpness and you may think it's ~~muh retro aesthetic~~ but this was painful to every animator ever, specially to the color designer

see >>160027103, can take of a specific scene if you want.
>>160031934
The image quality is horrible, that's true, but the colors should have been consistently bad if that was the case. The tints applied to the different scenes fit well with their theme too.

There are some night scenes where it's very apparent what they've done, will post when it's all downloaded.

I think Sephirotic's color correction is a step in the right direction but yes, I agree the renewal remaster is pretty poorly done.

But his color correction also ruins some scenes.

Bump.

The problem with Sephirotic's color correction is that he always white balances on the eyes, even though they're not always 100% white in the archival/broadcast.

>trying to catalog the best rips when possible

>rippers have different ways of encoding
>sub groups have further ways of encoding
>blowing my brains reading over doom9 trying to wrap my head around this

is there any guide or reference people use as introductory material into encoding?

This better not be the same faggot from last night trying to find the DVD9 non-remastered release.

>>160035513
The best rip is always the remux of course, rips are by definition lossy.

But are they not white, or void of pigment in production? I always feel like that's what most encoders do is trying to achieve the production quality (true white/true black) instead of broadcasting quality since the latter is too variable across different outputs

>>160036601
The scenes have a slight tint, so what happens is that the eyes themselves are white but the scene gets a small layer of, say, yellow. So the eyes should be slightly yellow if you want to keep that effect. But that tint is intended, in another scene it might be green or blue.

>>160035513
Just don't.

this >>160033747

and recommending dvd is just lol. get real.

Lurk moar retard

>>160038613
They're both shit. The pre-renewal DVD is okay, much better than the archival/broadcast.
>lol. get real.
boor bait

>>160026543
You know Hollywood spends hundreds of thousands in colorists that keep whatever color balance the director wants, right?
An obvious example of atmosphere is the green tinge The Matrix had in all the scenes that occurred within the matrix to signal to the viewer that they weren't the real world
