Stephanie doesn't always look pretty

[LazyPooky]

I noticed a while back that the contrast, saturation, and color temperature vary quite a bit between episodes.

The episode Lazy Scouts was made as third episode and I think they were still trying to find the right settings for contrast, saturation and color temperature. Probably within the first few months of production. Sportacus Who was made about 6 months later, in September. I bet they figured out what setting was the best, cool and washed out as you described.

I always wonder who was ultimately responsible for the post-production when I watch the 12th episode Hero For A Day, made in June 2004 . That episode was just the worst in terms of contrast and saturation.
