I agree, the "accepted tweaks" video based on the 1159 screen shot color adjustment version looks better. Luke's flight suit might not be quite as orange as it should be, but the flesh tones look better, less red. And that's more important. And also let's keep in mind the warning posted earlier that most tv's (unless they have been pro calibrated, of course) will push the reds a bit anyhow, so better to be conservative with red flesh tone problem.

g-force: Thanks for letting us know that. Obviously you put a lot of work into it, and I'm sure you came up with the settings that gave the best overall appearance to solve that problem.

If changing the brightness/contrast/gamma will mess up the superior visual quality you were able to achieve with the Star Wars GOUT DVD video, then I agree it's best to leave those settings alone and just make color adjustments for the improved color accuracy to the theatrical appearance.

dark_jedi. The 1159 screen shot color adjustments and the "accepted tweaks" video which comes from that, that tweak doesn't affect the brightness/contrast/gamma settings g-force uses in his script, right?

If you did change the contrast in that 1159 shot and in the "accepted tweaks" video and all it did was crush the blacks a little, does that cause any harm to what g-force was referring to in his post? Crushing the blacks a little might actually make space scenes look better, deeper blacks in space and so on. But I'm not sure how that would affect what g-force was concerned about.
