Hi everyone,

Regarding the above screenshots, personally I think the despecialized one looks better than the slightly brightened up, because skin tones are more natural, Luke's robe is white and C3PO color also looks better (more golden than yellow).

Oh, I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but since this is the purpose of the workprint after all (to evaluate progress), I've noticed some things in the reel 3 (the only one I've downloaded so far):

1) Sound seems a little bit distorted, as if volume was a tad too high, but this can be due to mp4 compression or my codecs/player fault (I use MPC-HC);

2) I don't know if it has always been like that (and probably it WAS, due to Special FX technical limitations of the era the film was made), but at 00:56:18:23 and 00:56:58:18 (Luke's saber going off and on) it felt to me like there was a jump cut /missing frame;

3) I've noticed some compression artifacts near C3PO's arms (00:40:41:22) and head (00:40:54:10) - I think they're called 'mosquito noise'?

Hammy, I know it's been said 1000 times already, but your work is simply put FANTASTIC.  Thank you!!!!
