Anyway, when I find the time to upload this for you, do you want to have it color corrected or do you just want me to release it as it is, along with a bright canyon where R2 get captured?

I do know that some people enjoy to just have the transfers preserved as is, so I was just wondering.

Oh wow that was fast for you to capture it. My advice is not to color correct it, as this release does have such an interesting color palette; furthermore, it's the palette I saw the Unaltered ANH as a child. The sunset is mindblowingly different and that's just utterly spectacular.

This definitely has a certain nostalgia to it and I would have just a capture, IVTC'ed if you have time. This release has never been transferred and it would be fantastic to see even a rudimentary '04 bootleg style transfer of it; if your samples are any indication, this will be well-received. It's fascinating seeing ANH with no crushed blacks or smearing, even if you have less detail.

in the end it will be just another LD-transfer, but I think some of you will appreciate to have this smearfree alternative anyway, I know that I will. I could of course apply some anti-aliasing, filter out the dot-crawl and rainbowing, but I think it will hurt more than it will help.

I say go for anything you can do; knowing your work, it will be amazing. You are right in saying that this is a smearfree alternative. This smearfree but lower quality route was taken by the V8 and never picked up on. It would be fantastic to see some progress.
