@ MVerta. Your restore looks phenomenal as usual. First I thought 3CPO is a bit bright and blunt, but looking at it for a moment. Phenomenal. I love how you always manage to make the pictures look 3D. Even more depth than actual 3D.

 Thanks! This shot is WIP, and even though it's obviously a step up, I can feel it's got another level in it.  You'll see what I mean in the final, but there's a flat spot in its luminance near the mid-lows which when fixed will bring out some nice things. There is a touch of cyan in it, too, which I can see in R2s blue, and a few other things.  It's amazing how delicate the adjustments can/need to be to really nail a shot.  But I believe in this sort-of "70%" spot where if you can hit it 70% right, quickly, you're on the right track, and then it's just finesse after that - as much a difference as it may make. It's just this vibe/flavor thing, which if you don't have it, all the details in the world don't make it.  It's actually fun to feel it come together!
