Hello,

I’m working on a Despecialized version of ANH, using the BD as the main video source, the ’06 bonus dvd to fill in for the S.E. additions that I’m editing out, and the ’89/’92/’93 Technidisc laserdisc (‘85 mix) for the audio track; but will edit out 3PO’s Tractor Beam line using the Faces LD audio.

I’m having a hard time with the (twilight) R2D2 scene on Tatooine. So far I’ve been able to use the ‘06 dvd to edit out all of the S.E. stuff, but even this (‘93 THX) version has color changes to this scene. I’m using Vegas Pro 12 and tried tweaking the color on both the BD and the ‘06 dvd, but my goal is to make the edit faithful to the ‘77 stereo two-track version, no matter how bad the quality is on certain scenes, but obviously I want to have the best picture quality possible. So far I’m using the ’89 LD for this scene(s) but the picture quality is less than inspiring. I know people have color corrected the whole movie(s) due to the crushed blacks, but what have you guys done for this perticular problem/scene?
