Here is a cap I made from the JSC of (probably) the same frame as X0-1138:
If you look at the right-side edge, X0-1138's "cap" has more information than appears on the JSC.
Ergo, either X0-1138 is significantly better at this than anyone before him (or her??), or the image is not from the JSC.

Didn't he/she say that they averaged it with the 2004? Would that add picture info? I'll check the JSC DVDs I have when I get the chance...
The average of nothing and something is... something, I guess.
In other words, if you averaged a part of the JSC where there was no picture information (all black), with the part of the 2004 DVD where there *is* picture information, then all you'd get back is the 2004 DVD picture. And I'd be inclined to think you'd then see the edge pretty clearly.
Even lining up the 2004 DVD and the JSC would take longer than the day or so X0-1138 purports to have been working on this.
On a vaguely-related topic, one experiment I've never tried is to use ColourLike() to give an HD target the same colour palette as the JSC.

You're right and there's no discernible edge to that photo... About how quickly he purported to do this, the "fake" theory looks more and more convincing. I will try to find the time tomorrow to take caps of SF/DJ's JSC and the V8, see if the extra picture information is actually there...

I wonder how that will like. That would definitely a project I'd be interested. The JSC's color timing is really unique. In fact, I'm actually curious if it's more theatrically accurate than the GOUT; it does seem more vibrant on the whole, especially scenes in ESB and ROTJ. I still am honestly surprised that it was pretty much abandoned as a color source.

Colourlike() rarely gave acceptable results whenever I tried it. There were attempts to make improved color-matching filters, but I don't think they came to anything, which is a shame, because they would be really useful.
In what way did it not give acceptable results? I've never actually tried it, myself.
I'm assuming it requires both source and target to be lined up, both spatially and temporally?
(Heh: guess we're sort of hijacking this thread.)

I'd be interested in whether this could work or not... as said before, it could be promising.

Well, I don't suppose it really matters if he's permanently banned and the thread title "Legacy" is pretty vague..
The Tatooine image was a still from the SE promotional material.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
Of course it was.
This guy is a troll, he doesn't have an X0, he definitely hasn't captured the JSC laserdisc and he hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.
On this occasion, Jay got to the ban hammer first.
In other news, hi Karyudo, good to see you back again. If you want to continue the colourlike discussion, you can use this thread.
