I have the official laserdisc transfers but they are lossy

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

I think that's far too bright and contrasty, like an "HDR" ("high dynamic range") photograph.

I've never seen an HDR photograph that I thought looked remotely good.

Netgurucr you are just an asshat whore who wants attention. What the fuck does screen caps of the 2004 DVD have to do with this thread?

Answer: NOTHING

So take your sad excuse of color correcting and leave.

Why did you feel the need to come back here anyway? You are nothing but a troll. Always have been always will.

I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

What? HDR makes everything look pretty surreal. It can definitally come out well in photos with lots of detail.

Detail isn't everything.  We don't need to see everything that's there as clear as day - what we can't see is sometimes as important as what we do.  In today's digital world, people are forgetting that more and more quickly, always wanting to have "more detail!" and "sharper!" and "brighter!" and "no grain because it has to be bad, right?"

I'm just not a fan, and I don't think an HDR-like quality is good for Star Wars at all.

Oh. I wasn't suggesting Star Wars should look HDR, which would be an awful idea for many reasons. HDR photography can, however, look fantastic if used correctly.

I just want a star wars release that is anamorphic and isnt jumpy like the laserdisc to dvd transfer. I happen to like the way star wars looks. Leave the special editions for fitting in with todays standards. I just want what we all want. The Original as good as the original ORIGINALLY looked. I for one like the special edition with the exception of greedo shooting and jabba. I think jabba needs some editing to make him look more like he did in ROTJ plus isnt it weird that an Imobile character moves in A New Hope. Unless Jabba had been hitting the happy meals. Plus cant we all just get along

Photoshop.

Can Photoshop be used to color-correct video?

Yes, you save each frame as a PNG or JPG, and then correct them.

 Its common knowledge that he was in fact hitting the happy meals. He was trying to get all the RotS happy meal toys for his collection.

Oh, well in that case, after I'm done with the Puggo Grande, you're welcome to borrow the original .avi files and do your magic.  Should be easy to remove all of the spots and scratches one by one too, while you're at it  :)

Please tell me you don't seriously think an uncompressed 2-hour movie, even as still (uncompressed!) frames with no audio, would be even close to small enough to fit on a DVD or flash drive?

Maybe Puggo would be able to give you a raw frame from his project so you can "work your magic," as a test to see if it's worth going through the whole thing.

This whimsical excursion of color correction deserves its own thread.

When you're finished, send it to me in an uncompressed PNG or JPG format, on a USB flash drive. Then I'll do the color correction magic.

Awesome!  Better yet, how about if I email it to you?
