My color correction is mainly done by eye - ... You've got a PM. :)

Thanks, got it.

Are you using a paint program itself or a dedicated plug-in for your sample corrections?

BTW, the film, when stretch out to full size, is slightly wider but noticeably shorter than the 1998 DVD (which may be different again in later releases):

And it looks like George Lucas' historical revisionism has grafitti'ed this movie, too (is this some kind of self-loathing?). He's tinted the entire frame because ... why? Who knows:

But not quite to the end of that right edge!

BTW ...

Anyone surprised?
