Yes, it seems to be better ! About that shot in particular (but I understand the point is to build a global correction for the scene), I would be tempted to reduce a little the green cast : http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/189370/picture:0.

Perhaps my version is a little to blue and has a wrong contrast and I don’t know how would that change fit for the hole scene. What do you think ?

Sorry for nitpicking, your work is amazing ! 😉

You must understand. The goal is not to make the walls of the Tantive white, but rather correct the scan to match most accurately how the film looked originally. Taking into consideration what is known about the set (slight mint walls, not pure white lights, actual costume colors) and how the quality of light interacts with the walls and characters, the idea is to match those colors in a natural way. Because you perceive the walls as being true white (probably due to the set from Revenge of the Sith) your eyes tell you there is a green cast because it dominates most of the framing during the whole sequence. DrDre is finding the sweet spot to accent all of the colors needed from the scan and match them as well as possible.

It’s not about what looks the best, it’s about what looks right.
