Bingowings said:I'm fine with the scale it's the sticky out bit that's infront of Ben that seems to throw it for me and it's not visable in the comparison shots (and it's just one niggle in a greatly improved scene) I couldn't illustrate my point without posting an image so sorry if this comes as a spoiler of sorts, the scene is worth donating to get a preview just to see Yoda's amazingly enhanced facial movements in all their glory.
if you look closely at the comparison pics you can see the "sticky out bit" through Obi-Wan's robes. To place Obi-Wan behind the mound that Yoda sits on to improve the scale i had to keep that bit in because it is noticeably attached to the mound as he fades into view.

Even i agree with you that your version has more tones than GOUT as the comparisson pics i see from 005, but it start to feel like stage/set again. The blue color in SE,yes its awfull, but in gives a more natural look. Im not sayin to go back to SE just add a bit cyan/blue to show that is some alive there to make contrast with the Xwing grey color and show that is night. Its all about elements and how they popup.

i'm starting to think you ahve an obsession with the colour blue. ;)
it doesn't need the blue tint to make it look like its at night. the surroundings are illuminated by the x-wing which has a strong white light. go outside at night and illuminate sections with a powerful white light and you will see that there is no blue tint because the light, unless it has a daylight bulb, doesn't reproduce daylight colours. now the background becomes more illuminated when Obi-Wan appears and there is a hint of blue reflection from Obi-Wan's ghost.
Don't forget i am working with a colour calibrated monitor whereas most consumer monitors have standard settings or usually 3 user settings: cool, warm & normal. warm and normal strip subtle blue tints and cool gives everything a blue tint. my intention all along was to return the colouring of the HD transfers back to what Star wars originally looked like before the disastrous colouring done in 2004. i really hate this modern colouring done for movies and photographs. either everything looks very cool with a ot of blue tones or warm with brown tones. It seems that film-makers have forgotten what natural colours are. the Ot were made before this fad and they have now been returned to the old school colouring and the PT will be getting the same treatment.

you will see more grain in my version because i am working off the Hd sources. the GOUT & 2004 DVD's have a lower resolution and a lot of the grain was lost due to this and also compression. the colour correction has also enhanced the grain slightly but i can live with this if t means losing the blue tint. also when resizing it to the DVD resolution it seems that my version is retaining more detail than the 2004 DVD
