Here’s an update on the color grading to remove the remaining green/yellow cast:
DrDre, everything looks pretty great so far, although I was wondering about this shot. Most of the stars here appear to be crushed out. Is that just a by-product of the degraining process? The star field is slightly more visible on the non-DNR video sample, although it is still not as visible as the Silver Screen Edition, just for comparison, so I was also curious if perhaps the contrast needs to be dialed back a bit.
I know this is still a work in progress, so again, just wondering…
Thanks!
This is not a by-product of the cleanup, the de-graining or the color correction. I checked the raw scan and this particular print just doesn’t have such bright stars in this shot. It may come down to which do you prefer - a sharper star destroyer with more detail or brighter stars. Unless I can combine the two prints together somehow, or separate the star field into a new layer and restore it separately… I’ll have to experiment.
