Lowry still did some color tweaking on their own, as John himself discussed at the press event in July, specifically when dealing with cleaning up old optical effects shots. But I do thank you for the correction. I thought the majority of the color correction was handled by Lowry, turns out a smaller portion of it was.

BUT:

Either way, the point I made still stands--trying to judge a DVD image by laserdisc standards is pretty ridiculous. No one stands around looking at Indy Jones and going "There's no way this movie looks like that. Look how COLORFUL it is. Look how GREEN those trees are. Why isn't everything more pale and washed out like my laserdiscs are?"

You've got people in here pissing all over a phenomenal restoration because it doesn't look like a early 90's laserdisc transfer, and that's silly as hell. You've got people trying to convince others that a washed out, desaturated image of Chewie looking more GRAY than anything is closer to correct because "There's no way that shade of brown exists on earth.." Which is in and of itself a ludicrous statement.
