Dre,

Your “base grade” from June 14th was so legit (as was your “base with 70s light”). Those are my faves. Your newest iteration of the 70s light is noticeably more green by comparison and I would say is thus not as “true” as your June 14th 70s grade. Actually, your new 70s grade is closer to your June 14th green grade, but this new grade is now even greener/yellowish than the June 14th green grade. I’m just not a fan of any green—it seems to come across as “sickly” to my eye.

Your GOUT grades I’m definitely not a fan of. They look underexposed, washed-out, and grayish in comparison to your previous excellent work.

Your new “base grade” is noticeably more green than your June 14th base grade. I would say the new base grade is closer to your green grade of June 14th but that one had more of the 70s light than this one does.

When all is said and done, I say: “Long live the base grade of June 14th.” It can’t get any better than that because it simply is the most honest coloration balance you can get—it is that good. The colors are just SO balanced and even. It really does please the eye. The June 14th 70s light is simply a warmer version of the base which is great, too. If we can go back to those two versions, that would make my day. If you HAVE to have a green grade, as well, I would say go with your new “base grade” with the green cast.

P.S. I like the new removal of the green cast from the underside of the star destroyer when it reels in Tantive IV.
