Thanks Harmy! You're right, it is very subtle in certain shots. The filters seems to have a more noticable effect on the higher contrast shots. Overall it does give the film a noticably warmer/more vintage feel that kind of works for this film, making it more appealing to watch, like you always said it would. You were right on the money there.

What I find really annoying though is how I can tell that the Star Wars blu-ray has lost so much shadow detail from the baked in black crush in the 2004 lowry masters. I'm absolutely certain that there should be much more shadow detail there in the original film, so the blu-ray lacks that 'film' feel to it, it feels very digital and artificial.

By comparison, working on the Fellowship of the Ring EE blu-ray transfer based off a totally new 2k master has been such a pleasure in certain ways because its so rich in shadow detail, it really feels like 'film', unlike the Star Wars blu-ray with its baked in black crush, so one has so much more options when regrading it with regards to contrast and brightness IMHO.
