Could you tell me a bit more about the method you used to minimize the over-sharpening? The Star Wars UHD could certainly benefit from that too.

Yeah, sure thing! So in DaVinci Resolve, there’s an effect called “Mist,” which is available as part of the Blur/Sharpen palette. Essentially, what it does is blur the edges of a shot without blurring it globally. So if you dial in the right settings, it essentially can blur the areas of a shot that have been oversharpened / given the “edge enhancement” treatment. This video does a pretty good job overviewing the entire Blur/Sharpen palette, and she starts going over the “Mist” section at about 3:46 - https://youtu.be/YQTGk3K6pCM. And here’s another video that does a pretty good job explaining the Blur/Sharpen palette too. He goes over the “Mist” section at about 4:18 - https://youtu.be/MQN-yg7Qhdg. Hope that helps!
