I’m never quite clear what you’re discussing with your project. You’re often speaking in these absolute terms of how things should be, but you aren’t quite explaining how you might be using references in an objective way. Is it fair to say that you’re discussing the way you prefer it to look? No judgement for that, since I did a version of SW that was in no way objectively colored. Just curious, since I tend to find myself confused at your posts.
Just the results that I see. What I see over and over on this site are color corrections that all bring it closer to what we think we remember and what we think it should be, but there is a lot of guess work involved. Even DrDre’s color correction tool requires a guess as to what frames to work off of. Most of the guessing isn’t random, but no two people seem to be arriving at the same result so I don’t see there being a single correct answer, more a collective set of answers that keeps getting narrower as everyone gains experience.
In this case, looking at the raw scan, the GOUT, the SE, the BR, the Despecialized Edition, and my color corrections, I was pointing out that the Despecialized Edition of this frame is lacking some blue areas that are in the raw scan and in the GOUT, SE, and BR. To me that is a pretty clear indication that the Depecialised Edition has been over corrected to remove blue tones that should be there. 4 separate scans of the film cannot all be wrong. I posted a screen cap of my color correction of the SE, which came out with very similar colors, but with the blue areas intact.
