That's good news poita, the community owes you a debt of gratitude for all you continually do!

I've a request, if you have the shot in question: The final shot of the burning homestead scene has given me no end of trouble this last week. Actually, any scenes of Tatooine would be very good, as the color seems to fluctuate so dramatically between releases.

 The scenes on Tatooine on the original release prints are all over the place as far as grading goes. Remember ANH was a fairly low budget film, and grading was a chemical (expensive) process, so it isn't all that consistent on this movie.

If someone could tell me how many minutes.seconds into the film that a requested shot is, it would make it faster for me, and thumbnail of the required frame.

Wrangling through 100MB per frame is a slow process even on a fast machine.

For example which frame at the homestead do you mean, the last frame of the pan, the last frame of Luke, or the last frame before the change to a totally different scene?

The sky is quite pink in that sequence on the prints.

It looks less pink on this forum page due to the dark grey/blue background. Pop that image on a white background or neutral grey and you will see how pink the sky is.
