Colour correction results looking pretty good. A few technical questions out of curiosity:

What software are you using for the colour correction?
Does the software work in YUV or RGB colourspace?
Are you making adjustments "by eye", or comparing histograms from the GOUT?
Are adjustments applied to frames as a whole, or are you doing any masking/rotoscoping to apply changes to select areas only?


I apply a basic first pass colour correction. This isn't actually just a global colour fix though. each shot has individual settings so i have to go through it shot-by-shot and match each one the best possible. I use numerous colour filters in Adobe After effects (the hue/sat filter is one of the main ones because it lets you tweak individual colours without affecting others around it). All the correction is done by eye on a calibrated monitor. Once the first pass is finished then i have to move onto the next stage which involves masking out particular areas (sometimes this could be as many as 30+ layers if ANH is anything to go by) and applying more colour correction to each layer. Not an easy task by any means but it gives IMHO some great results and possibly the only way to recover missing colour elements (like the colours on the bridge above)in the 2004 DVD's
