I’ve had some projects in mind for quite some time and Oohteedee’s work has finally put sources in my grubby little paws that makes it easy. His D+XX releases start with a basic color correction to the D+ release and then all the SE changes (not the nearly invisible fixes) are removed with material from 35mm scans that are matched to the D+ footage. It is a dream to work with. The D+ footage has lots of issues if you want to make a truly great color correction. But with how Oohteedee releases these versions of the movies, everything is in a usable package that requires very minor adjustments. Well, there are some shots that just aren’t salvageable if you really want them to look good. I’ve replaced 5 shots from other 35 mm sources in ANH. But for the OT, every shot from the general release back in 77 through the 97 SE is available in HD (or 4K). I’ve so enjoyed comparing the SE changes with properly matched OUT shots and getting lost as to which was which because it is so well done. Not only are his versions more watchable than the official release, but they are an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to do more than just watch.
