LA Story EE: I'm scraping this project. The quality of the deleted Harry Zell scene (EP VHS tape) isn't that great, and a quick preview of it inserted at the appropriate place actually screws up the flow of the movie. Sad to see the scene out, but it was a good cut by Steve Martin. The other clip "a walk in L.A." has trailer music over it so it can't be reinserted.

RtW Star Wars: I did little brightness/contrast adjustment. In fact all I did was shift the white point about 4% or less. Just enough to make the whitest white truly white. There is little or no crushing, and a comparison of white levels in the X0 project screenshots shows them to be a pretty close match. Some detail may be lost (though I had trouble finding any real before/after evidence of it), but the white levels are more accurate. I felt this was a reasonable trade off.
