Awsome-zilla!!! However  - and please don't think I am nit-picking - I think just a TAD more colour would bring it closer to those Technicolor print shots, unless it's my laptops screen of course...

At any rate it's leaps and bounds better than the stock 2004 GOUT, and shocking that Lucasfilm couldn't even be bothered to do a basic colour correction to it like you have here for its release. Just goes to show what some love for this film and technical competency with video tools can reveal.

I salute your technical prowess, Sir!

:D
Increasing the saturation is much like increasing the contrast you have to restrain yourself otherwise you end up doing more harm then good to certain areas of the picture. I have already increased the saturation as much as I feel comfortable with because we have to remember that while you can polish a turd until its so glossy you can see yourself in it, this doesn't change the fact that it's still a turd on the inside. :(

Wow Lee! Those colors look fantastic! They're so vibrant and completely unlike the monochromatic (in comparison) GOUT! I think you've hit the correct grade :-)
I thought it quite ironic myself when I was comparing before and after shots earlier today with the untouched GOUT looking as black and white as it did it made me think about George Lucas' stance on the colorisation of black and white films. LOL

Many thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! :D
