The only grade I will be doing will be to match it to the print. The reel posted is a little crushed, and the colour doesn’t quite match the print but the rough colour is correct.

In short, it will be how it looked in 1980, colour, neg dirt, grain warts and all.
I’m curious to know if this means that the colors we’ve seen in your uncorrected preview are also (roughly) representative of how they looked like in 1980. I understand you usually don’t take feedbacks from those without a properly calibrated monitor (like me 😄 ), but I have an unprofessional feeling that the skintons look too purple to be true, even for its blue grading, especially during Leia’s kiss scene. 😄 They look so purple (to me, at least), that in comparison it makes the 2004 DVDs’ notorious purple skintons look just fine, so I’d like to read your opinion on this: is it my monitor, the uncorrected preview or the original grading?
Thanks for your preservations efforts, it means a lot 😃
