I don't like people bashing Lowry digital. They do nothing wrong.  Even though I hated what I saw on the colours of some of the Bond movies, like all their work, the people who make the final decision are the filmakers etc, not Lowry.  They are the ones who rubber stamp and say "i'm happy with that".

To be fair, the color correction for SW was done at ILM, not Lowry. And they did a marvellous job of cleaning it up.

I start to imagine if I would speak up, if I was the guy doing the color correction... "Uhm, George, we're losing detail in the darks." - "Just do as I tell you." - "You do realize that could be called a 'flaw', right?" - "No, I'm a perfectionist, there are no flaws in my movies anymore, it's a creative decision!" - "Well, my job is to do a great color timing, and that excludes crushing the blacks. I quit!" :D

BTW, doesn't "crushing the blacks" sound extremely racist? I guess I won't use that for a while...
