I do like your color adjustments of the opening of AOTC, Vaderios. You did take them a bit too far in my opinion, but as I said before, I like how playing with the contrast reveals a little more detail in this case on the ships and the platform. It makes them feel more real.

I like your feedback and im open for constructive criticism. Yes you are right i tried to make it look more real and eliminate the CGI result. Even some ships are actually models they lose their authenticity into this fog thing whatever thing. In what part you think i went too far? Feel free to suggest things. As you know i return to previous mockups and I revisit them ;)

thanks again

Thanks Vaderios :)

What I meant is that sometimes, in my opinion, you boost the contrast too much, which makes some of the shots look a little unnatural because we're seeing way too much. Your adjustments make every little detail visible, and that makes the shots kind of "flat". All the subtleties are gone, and every little detail is there, screaming for our attention.

An example: the shot of Amidala's ship landing on Coruscant in AOTC. The platform is very "busy" now with every little thing we see on it. I like that the original shot was a little more "quiet".

That said, I do like how you changed the color palette of the scene. You got rid of the purple-ish tone that hangs over the scene and made the scene look a little more industrial. I also like how the yellow of the fighters stand out a little more too.

I don't mean to rag on your and others' color adjustment work, but I think there is a little too much of a "Let's make it more dark and faded and it'll look like the OT!"-mentality going on here. I agree very much that TPM (the horrible pink) and AOTC (to an extent) could use some color adjustments. In AOTC's case, I think we have to keep it subtle: bring out some more details, and tone down the cartoonish stuff.

Hope I haven't offended anyone :P
