dark_jedi: Thanks for posting the comparison video. :) I think this comparison really shows how the correct Star Wars film colors are more or less there in the GOUT, they just need to be brought out. But as has been pointed out, the key is to do it while avoiding bleeding, etc.

I'm not sure what the most theatrically-correct settings are (which you rightly pointed out is the goal), it probably will need to be adjusted in some cases on a scene-by-scene basis to avoid too much red in the skin tones in certain scenes and so on. But it's clear from this comparison video, and judging based on the other sources available for comparison, that the GOUT DVD set colors are under saturated. I think the key is to be cautious, keep a close eye out for problems and not overdue the saturation. And if a good set of general correction values can be arrived at for each movie, plus special adjustment values for certain scenes when needed, then this would really improve the color accuracy of the new V3 unaltered Star Wars trilogy DVD set. :)

Hopefully the film/tech/video/restoration experts on the forum can put their heads together, after studying the images and video, and come up with the most ideal set of color correction values to restore the theatrical colors as closely as possible, without causing other problems in the video, given the sources available to us at the moment.

msycamore: I like that adjustment you made in the comparison, the skin tones are more accurate. :)
