Feedback Wanted: my ColorMatch LUT Sharing

I have been working on a “one pass fixes most” for ANH on Bluray and thought it might be nice to start a thread for everyone to share LUTs and ColorMatch Models and get feedback.

Here’s my initial one for the EP4 Bluray - attempting to bring it closer to theatrical color timing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By9sWLF9s-s6ajA2bnNNUW4wZkk/view?usp=sharing

Would love feedback.

Just applied it, looks very nice, fixes a lot of issues I could never work around in Vegas. Great stuff! My only gripe, and this just might be only on my end, is that the highlights look a bit too bright. However, this may be merely how my screens are ‘calibrated’, so take it with a grain of salt.

But seriously, these luts are incredibly helpful!

Thanks 😃

Yes the highlights are a bit bright, as are the darks. I keep tinkering with it but it’s difficult to find a solution that gives each scene the right color and brightness.

I’m finding that the best shots to use for developing a color match model for Dre’s tool are wide shots of the falcon cockpit. On the wall behind them is a display showing red blue and green. One of the shifters is partially yellow. With those colors so isolated it’s easier to find the right values. Star Wars is the easiest because with Luke, Obi-Wan and Han all having similar yet different color clothing, you can get a better feel for the subtleties. The issue with these shots is the bluray is so dark that when the color is fixed the lights are really bright and it throws off brightness and contrast.

I also tend to use gimp to adjust the initial match image to fix the colors that are still wrong in the rest of the film, even if the small adjustments aren’t very visible in the match shot.
