@Dunedain: Such a color correction would indeed be awesome, but when looking at the GOUT it seems that it's technically limited in the way the colors are, compared to original prints.

In the GOUT it's often like hair, skin and lips all share the same red/pink hue, which makes it impossible with normal color correction to fix only the skin tone. In the 70mm scans for example, you can see each color is much more nicely separated from each other.

So you won't see any color correction miracles in this project, but we dug up the colors not visible due to desaturation, and balanced out the biggest problems like too strong reds, and green-tinted yellows.

The manual photoshop work I've talked about only involves removing glue marks, flashes, dirt, burn marks, light bleeding between frames and stuff like that where it's very visible. And fixing the most major color errors like those two pics I posted where Vader's belt lights are pink in the raw GOUT.

@TheObi: We won't change any of the crawls, credits or anything. It will all be left as it is on the DVDs.
