Well, first of all the GOUT is not sourced from technicolor prints. Actually only SW was ever printed by technicolor. What I'm trying to do is bring back the original look of the prints that the GOUT is sourced from, or at least bring back the life in them and correct them as good as I can, without any real professional knowledge about the prints.

Unfortunately, the skin tones in SW are a bit more pink-tinted than in the other 2 movies, and because of that, it's impossible for me to get everything to look as good as Mike's pics. If I correct the skin tones, everything that's supposed to be red turns orange.

Yeah this was my sense of what the scope for improvement was - working back to the copy source whilst trying to undo as much of the colour shifts as possible

 

I gotta say though that the current result looks very good, just don't expect a technicolor look!

 

It looks brilliant, everyone keeps raising the bar - I think I was thinking a bit too impractically about what the Gout source is actually capable of yielding.

Anyway, I won't be posting more samples here now, since me and dark_jedi have started to work on a "surprise" for you guys. :)

Yay!
