okay, well the plan is I am thinking about doing two different versions of the grade.  One that looks older and more like the OT, and one that looks newer and so reflects some more modern grading styles.

I've watched the entire ROTS movie (and part of ATOC/TPM) with both types of grades and they improve the films on a visual level a great amount, but in different ways.

But, more importantly, the reason I decided for this split is that so far I haven't felt very satisfied with my OT-like color grade.  It looks straight out of the late 80's in some parts and in other parts look like the footage was processed to hell.  I really want an OT version just as much as many of you want, but until I can perfect it (which is going to be a while), I prefer to release a version that looks much better, but is distinct from the OT look, which makes it easier to accomplish given the source.

An example of the OT grade issues I've had is the highlight recovery.  There are certain parts where the Bluray compression limits REALLY show through, and it ruins it.
