Getting better! Still a bit bright and contrasty and maybe too saturated?
Sorry I was harsh on the other thread.

It’s fine! Any feedback is good feedback.
What is your source for the JSC? Is it althor’s version on MySpleen?
Yes, that’s right.

IIRC the JSC is actually composed of two different prints spliced together. There are a few places where the last frame of a shot has different framing and colour balance to the previous frames, meaning a blanket correction of a unadjusted capture can be yeild inconsistent results over the whole film. I think the brightness level is higher to begin with too, at least compared to the other common widescreen laserdisc releases.
Good to know. I suppose to accommodate I’ll make two unique color treatments (from what I’ve seen so far one will have to be red leaning and the other cyan leaning) and eyeball for each shot to figure out which print is which. Unless that’s been figured out in the past? I haven’t seen.
Do you know what the deal is with the other two films, then? Thus far all I’ve observed is that Empire has a near monochrome look for Hoth, and Jedi has some weird green/yellow tendencies (the exterior Tatooine shots are drenched in yellow)
