Ady, did you consider to make ESB:R a little more brighter and crisper?

For example..

I raised shadows/highlights and added some sharpness (and a bit of grain). Obviously it brings an issue with crushed blacks but still looks nice. Just saying =)

Very interesting results. In the last pic the planet actually looks less washed out and reveals some additional detail. Also, the pics of Vader in his chamber do seem to look better with the tweaked brightness. Of course I wonder how the final film will actually look. Screenshots are one thing, but will ESB:R actually look like those original screens? They do seem a bit too dark when compared with the "fixed" screens, but our eyes have a funny way of playing tricks on us. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's better. And black crush is certainly something to avoid.

I do however think that just based on those screenshots, the tweaked brightness does seem to appear better. Of course would we be able to do achieve the same thing with our tv sets if we wanted to? My set has lots of "dynamic" auto adjustments that sometimes help and sometimes hurt.
