There has been some amount of color correction in all of my previous projects. See, contrary to what one might think, there really isn't a way to capture the films exactly as we see them.  Cameras are just not as sophisticated as our eyes and brains, so you have to do the best you can with the white balance during capture, and then tweak afterwards.  ESB is a bear to color-correct because most scenes take place in dark or strangely-lit settings.  SW was more straightforward.  I'm thinking there might be people here who would do a better job than me.

Or, someone could try and tell me how to best use the "color curves" in Vegas.  The explanations in the built-in help don't say much, and the axes aren't labeled.
