Also for colorists be mindful you’re not crushing any existing detail at least before finalizing, noticed in the Ren fix (which I still prefer) the blacks reduced the amount of information in the padding of his outfit and some of his hair.

Maybe there is a very slight amount of detail loss in the deepest blacks, but if you look at the histogram the red channel was already being clipped before the correction. The green and blue channels were elevated, which created that bluish haze, so either I raise the red floor (which would cause undesirable effects) or decrease the blue and green to more closely match the red.

My attempt at reducing the color cast (more screencaps in each comparison):

These look great, much more of a throwback look. Personal preference truly, I actually don’t think the Rey is too much red but I’d say in both of the Rey stills you’re kind of shifting into a more monochromatic look, less pop of the green jungle vs. Rey, and the sky vs. the desert. Probably a little too far in that desert pic in general (look at Finn’s pants and the stripes on his vest).

Thanks, throwback look is what I like! Agree that the desert shots are not quite there yet.
