Cheers for the feedback CatBus! Unfortunately any sort of brightening causes blown out whites, so by your argument one should simply leave the brightness as it is in the blu-ray (or do you think it should be darkened like in Harmy's screencap?). The only problem with that is that the three original trilogy films have an 'underexposed' look to them IHMO that can only be fixed my increasing the brightness slightly, so slighly blown out whites is a necessary evil IMO. Harmy agrees with me in that regard that extra brightness is necessary, at least with the first film, Star Wars. The reason I posted this clip of Hoth outdoors was exactly because I knew that it would create blown out whites when the blu-ray was brightened by any amount. So which of the three screencaps do you prefer in terms of brightness and general image dynamics (not colour), the blu-ray one, my one or Harmy despecialised one?
