Regarding this:

*PIC*

I actually like the GOUT one better because the buildings in the background actually look like they're in the background and make Cloud City look like a big city... or maybe it's just the difference i nlighting and more blue in the shadows. Is there any way to mix the refined backgrounds with the old ones to increase sense of perspective and size of Cloud City?

I said before that a daylight has slight yellow highlights and blue-cyan shadows. GOUT captures that perfectly and gives a weight to the scene.

Is just me or the CGI elements are not blending so well with the already mattes in the previous flyby shot?

Could you give us a demonstration by adjusting the new version to these principles?

I'm always keen to learn new techniques and it may be useful for other people who read this thread.

I don't see what you are saying at all. Those are the same background buildings from the original matte painting. The original has too much at the building left above Leia's window to have the skylights.

He's talking about the colour and texture balancing of the shot not the shape of Leia's building.

The original matte seemed more convincing because of the general merky quality of the whole film (as it was), now that it's cleaned up and colour corrected the matte's broad strokes are a bit more obvious which is sort of what I was trying to say with my earlier post, though I understand and accept the answer Ady gave me on this point.
