Also, you should never use pictures printed in books or magazines as definitive. I have really not found any such pictures from ANH that really provide true colors. So matching the film to them is kind of silly, especially with the 4k77 project available and the GOUT on hand. In the sunset scene you have brought out the magenta at the expense of the yellow and cyan and they need to be more in balance. If there is a color for those shots, it is variations of purple, not magenta. You’ve washed out all the blues and it needs to have a touch of gray to it (as all sunsets should when filmed on this planet). So not only have you used questionable sources, but you haven’t used any common sense or the far better sources available to us to arrive at descent color pallet for that shot. And you should really follow what Poita and DrDre have to say. I don’t always agree with them 100%, but they know what they are talking about when it comes to restoring color to films.
