Hmmm...okay, I've now had a chance to sit down and watch the first 45minutes of the film straight through, and since no one else seems to be chiming in I thought I'd add to my earlier impressions. It's pretty obvious now that the histograms are really only going to be a beginning to solving the problems with the official transfer, and not the magic bullet many were hoping when the first examples were being put up months ago. While they fix some of the problems, they often don't seem to take care of everything within a frame, and create other entirely new problems. The obvious stuff that springs to mind is in the "lost in the snow" and medical center sequences, and the horrendous blue/cyan artifacting going on there, and the inconsistent colour from shot to shot. It almost would have been better for those sequences to have left the DVD footage alone, or to CC and time them without the histograms being involved at all. There is also a great deal of oversaturation in certain details with a shot (mostly blues and reds it seems, stuff like the flight suits, buttons on control panels and stuff, also have a look at when Han is welding in the BG during the pilot briefing - the welder flashes consume a MASSIVE amount of the screen, much like the bacta weirdness actually - very weird), and funky stuff happening like the Ion cannon shots turning yellow, half of laser, lightsabre, and other animated effects bieng partly coloured, and then totally desaturated in another part of the same frame. As has been pointed out in the other CC thread regarding the histograms, the asteroid sequence is badly brown/yellow. I think if you do another pass at Empire, and if you do end up doing the other films, you should think about using the histograms fairly sparingly and as a base from which to work, shot by shot, sequence by sequence, rather than letting them run straight through the film. There is definetly potential there, but again, by going shot by shot, I think you'd get a better result.
