Your work looks fantastic, NeverarGreat. It's shame that there's no way to transfer all your settings to Avisynth.

Once upon a time there was a Star Wars trilogy. Now there is apocrypha.I've never worked with Avisynth before, but shouldn't that program have all the functionality of Premiere?
A few Google searches pulled up this:

So if I understand it correctly, you could use Premiere as the editing program, and output in Avisynth. I think?

Yes, but that still doesn't give you the ability to share your color correction here as a simple text file that we all can use and modify to our liking.
This is one of the biggest strengths of Avisynth, as it's more-or-less a programming language for video work.

Once upon a time there was a Star Wars trilogy. Now there is apocrypha.Hm. Good to know. I really only know Photoshop and Premiere (and a bit of Vegas) when it comes to video editing.
So is this how the collaboration aspect of projects such as Despecialized work? Someone sends the settings, another person uses these as a base for more scene specific work?

Yes. An Avisynth script that applied your color-correction settings to the BD would be an invaluable resource. It would also be good to have a script that undid the 2011 changes by splicing material from the German HDTV broadcasts into the BD. When combined with your settings, the result would be a color-corrected 2004 SE – not a bad start to any project.

Once upon a time there was a Star Wars trilogy. Now there is apocrypha.So I may have to learn Avisynth.
In the meantime, I was gunning for matching a color seen on several Senator photos:
The green in Luke's hair and Ben's robe is probably not exact, but the reddish hue of the DVD is not correct either in my opinion. So I decided to get it as close as I could to the photo while keeping the rest of the movie's colors close:
It's still a bit red, but it's the closest this shot has ever come to looking right to me. The rest of the movie looks pretty good as well IMO:
This is where a scene by scene correction would be helpful. Luke could stand to use more red skintones here, but colors fall where they are.
Just wanted to share another step along the correction path.

These are looking ever more natural tones to me. Can you make a new clip to give an idea of the overall feel of this newest setting?

Once upon a time there was a Star Wars trilogy. Now there is apocrypha.I haven't rendered a test since applying the blue removal technique, so I'm definitely going to be rendering something soon. I'm kind of putting it off because I need the computer for other things right now, and the project has something like six or seven video layers all doing different things, so will probably take forever to render.
