Yeah. Switching over to my old Dell, the tweaked screenshots look messed up there (which makes perfect sense because I was tweaking them to make the image on my new computer look like my old one).

If the issue is with my entire display, obviously none of the images will look to any of you the way they look to me. For all I know, the top image as it looks on my new computer IS how it's supposed to look, and my old computer is off.

But even if it's inaccurate, I will say that I like the golden, desaturated look that DeEd has on my old laptop. It sort of matches the blues, greens, and pinks I've seen on 35mm prints of Close Encounters and The Blues Brothers. Some shots have odd hues on my new display - R2's panels tending toward purple, the Rebel flight visors looking mustard instead of orange. And I can still see those magenta blaster flashes on my new computer, while on my old one they looked tempered.

Geez, I'm having an existential crisis - was everything I thought I knew about the DeEd wrong? Was everything I thought I knew about the proper color timing of this film wrong?
