That said, when comparing these two settings, they are not that different, and the new one does look better. To prove this I made a comparison of screenshots. Each shot in it is divided. Left half is old settings and right half is new. If you have a hard time noticing it, check the shot of the jawas carrying R2.

Damn the difference must be fine - I can't tell one side of a shot from the other at all. Can you post a screenshot with the new settings of a shot already in the thread that had the last settings. I respect your judgement that you reached the most accurate balance thus far, but I want to go back and double check if what I think I see, I really am seeing... (or if i'm losing my mind)
