Good LD info! Now I know for what to watch-out. Thanks!
Some day some one must do an exhaustive history (with comparative pictures, of course) of all the releases -- like a Star Wars website I once came across, with all it's releases list (cover pictures too), domestic and international.
Ah, some day ... :)

I was prompted by skoal's request to back-check your quick tests. It looks like you've already tried a "chairs" adjustment there ... Post 94
But, while there, I again noticed something that previously had caught my eye. It was the type of color difference in the space stewardess zero-gravity walk shot. The laserdisc and Blu-ray comparison showed only the wall-padding differently colored. Using R-G-B adjustments (my manipulation of choice) could not fix it without altering other areas. Then I wondered if they may have used a hue shift for just that part of the color spectrum. Starting with a simplified approach, I tried shifting the entire spectrum ... and that did it! And it seems that's what you must've done for your correction back to laserdisc colors, at least for that particular shot.
Oh, the heresy of this Blu-ray! That's them just pushing the tint button on the monitor to make a mis-adjusted release, saying, "Ah, that's better."
