Thanks guys :-) I was half joking there :-)

The thing about that quote Cobra Kai posted is that it wasn't about a colour issue, it was about a technical issue, which is what I hoped people would point out when seeing the WPs and previews and instead, most of what I hear is about colours.

Trust me, I fully understand that the colours are important as well, I'm just getting a little tired of redoing them all the time based on vague comments, which are not very helpful and it just makes me feel frustrated sometimes.

For example the vague skintones comments, you have to realize that there is some skin visible in most of the shots in this film and I don't have a magical tool that can recognise faces and recolour them separately, so when someone makes a comment about the skintones being all wrong or all over the place or something like that, what they're basically saying is that the colours are all wrong, in the whole thing (they may not mean it that way but it is the practical implication). And after working on the colours for hours and hours, this is very frustrating.

It's something completely different when someone points out a particular shot where he thinks the skintone is wrong and explains how it is wrong, that is helpful, because I can look at it and if I agree I can change it (if you still have WP1, compare the scene of Vader talking to Leia on Tantive IV to WP2 and you'll see what I mean).
