The main problem is to compensate for the loss of red light but without introducing too much, particularly with 'whiter' parts of the video - like bubbles, or beams of sunlight. Perhaps a key question is about 'looking good' or 'looking realistic'?

I didn't know that about Google Photos, thank you for the tip. I just looked at the Autumn Forest and Harvest Farm, they look better than what I have.

I then used MediaInfo to get a detailed look at your clip's specifics, and saw that the bitrate was under 4Mbps and the file size was just 13MB! So unless you converted your 209MB clip to a low quality version for uploading, Google Photos decided to do that for us and casually discarded 90% of the details from that epic encounter I downloaded the clip, and thought I had somehow set PD's preview quality to Low or Normal because I kept seeing a really blocky image, especially when I paused. You may want to cut the clip and fade/transition to a normal color section when you pop out of the water if you don't like the color changes there.Īlso, I just discovered that sharing video clips with Google Photos turns out to be a bad idea!

To my eye, Autumn Forest and Harvest Farm bring out the color in the dolphins better, because they are tinting the whole color palatte towards orange/red which helps when blue/green is the overwhelming color.
