The garage scene is just about finished. I decided to use the detail from the SE and the color from the '77 version for the Leia Hologram, in keeping with the stated goals of the project:
Comparison
I think you are doing some nice work on this. And I like what you have.
I know you said it is final, and you can have your project however you want it I really don’t mind.
But have you ever considered dropping the bottom end or shadow value by about 10% - 15%.
The reason I am saying this is because I am looking at the green lights up the top of the frame and I wondered if it would bring out a better range. I think it looks very nice but I think you should step your brightness lower at shadows, slightly dipped in the mids and leave your tops exactly where they are. This would not work for outside scenes in the desert for instance.
But in scenes like this, in a darkened space or room you may need to compensate your brightness in terms of the environment.
I’ll let you decide but I really do like your result in terms of the color.
give it a try?
