Found some more issues with the color grading. Particularly in the beginning of the edit, since I was doing a lot of experimenting at the time. Unfortunately, I still managed to find some skin tones that looked… Off. I’m looking for ways to correct the issue, but my corrections have brought up a difference or two. I guess I have to show another screencap for this one.

Here’s a shot of Anakin that shows the skin tone problem I’m talking about:

Here’s the correction I made so far:
Episode III Skin Tone Issues_1 17 2

As you can see, the reddish tone is gone from the corrected image here, but now my concern is that I’m pushing it way too much towards yellow. This might look good for an older film (I could imagine a color grade such as this for Apocalypse Now, one of my all-time favorites), but for a Star Wars movie… I don’t know.

I’ll post an update when I’ve come up with other ideas to fix the grading.
