Difference is subtle, but I spotted it in previous comparisons... (^^,)

Maybe a really-little-tiny decrease in saturation in the 'normal' version could be OK, but as it is now, it is not mandatory IMHO.

After much thought I just went ahead and did an encode of the whole of Star Wars with slightly less saturation than the normal settings just to check how it looks and to my surprise the whole film just looks 'right' now, just how i'd imagine the film print looks in terms of saturation, when with the previous normal settings it just looked like a desaturated version of the 'technicolor' release. This is 100% what i'm going to use now for the normal settings. Thanks for that little nudge in the right direction. :)

I also tried boosting the saturation of the technicolor settings just to see what it looked like and it was a bust, the colours are just too strong, so i'll be sticking with the technicolor settings I have. I now have my normal and technicolour settings finalised so I can finally leave the labyrinth that is regrading Star Wars and move on! Thank God!
