The steps around King Hubert look pink but if you look more closely, the remaining steps are shades of blue, green and purple.

Well, don't ask me. I flunked the color test in NA's thread.
:D

Yes, but it was blues and greens and purples at the El Cap screening. I am so confused.


And Kevy's right, there's no way to tell what the correct colors are unless they adhere to the archive records. For all I know the correct colors for the stairs are shades of purple and pink.

I'm simply wondering why the purportedly same restoration looked different in the theater than it does on that screen cap supposedly from the DVD release.

We use the PMS charts at my work as well. It's a real beeauch to try to use it for coloring skin care products, I swear. But we do ink printing on bottles, paper, and lables also.

What's a "screen cap"?

screen capture

Screen Capture - the images that Issac posted are actual Screen Captures from the DVD.
One cannot accurately compare the colors between what is on the screen (I am not sure if you saw a digital or film presentation) and what is on you computer screen.

And I can almost guarantee that what is on you computer screen looks different on my computer screen and on what is on Isaacs and what is on anybody else's screen.

Lastly, projected light (computer screen) will look different than reflected light (movie theatre screen).

Basically, you're f*cked...

I have trouble doing screen caps from DVDs, is there a trick to it? Should I view the DVD through a certain program to make it work or something? Whenever I try it gives me a black box in photoshop.

I haven't done it in a while so I can't remember the ways around it, but that's a copywrite protection feature in most DVD playback programs.

Any dvd playing software on your PC (if you are using PC) should have a camera icon for which to snapshot. Cineplayer and another on my PC (the name escapes me) both have this option.

Using this, you could actually steal an entire movie (the audio tracks are usually not protected).
