This is the result of playing around with Dr.Dre’s awesome color matching tool. I matched the colors from the German SE Trailer to 1997 TB of Empire Strikes Back. I tried several different frames of the trailer and ended up just using one frame to match the colors. All the images below were created with the same color model.

I’m really excited about the results, given the poor condition of the trailer. The regrade gives it a film like look. Sure, the colors aren’t 100% correct, but I think they are good enough. However, I’m not an expert on these kind of things, so I’m curious what you guys think.

I like what you’re working towards, but your regrade is too dark.
