Going through the final stretch on the color grading. I’m going to make two final adjustments, and then, I think v2 will be close to ready.

The adjustments are simple, but effective. I’m adjusting the “hue vs sat” and “hue vs lum” controls. Desaturating the red, green, and blue colors and saturating the yellow, cyan, and magenta colors. This will make v2’s color scheme more film-like and desaturated since a lot of 35mm films use a yellow, cyan, and magenta color process instead of RGB.

I got an external blu-ray drive for my birthday, and I ripped my blu-rays for the prequels onto my new mac. (And yes, these are the rips I intend to submit to fanedit.org for v3.) I tested out the “hue vs sat” and “hue vs lum” on the new episode I rip and I can testify that it already looks better than the blu-ray discs. (Especially with the loss of the ugly red tint that was in there originally. Yuck.) I’m confident the same results will apply to v2.
