Can someone explain to me what that super-blown-out picture is from? There's obviously a joke here, and I feel like I'm the only one who's not in on it...

 It's not just you.

The blown out picture is from the 1993 Silverscreen Collection LD, I'll have some more screenshots of it over in my thread shortly.

There's definately something about ESB because all the prints i've seen on ebay have also gone reddish/pink...

Even the official releases on VHS and LD, I think, have a bit too much pink in them.

GOUT's probably pinky too.

 Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that was a sarcastic comment by the galaxy's slowest droid. :)

In other news, I finally have a new surgery date, first week of next month, so I will be AWOL for a while after that.

At least the waiting is over. Hope the surgery works out, such that you can finally enjoy some healthy times!

In the mean time, I managed to improve the color matching method. There appears to be some color noise hidden in the raw scan, that was difficult for the algorithm to handle. The new algorithm is less sensitive to the color noise. Once again the reference is the Semi-Specialised Edition V2.2 frame posted earlier:

The results are as follows (raw/rough correction/correction with algo):

Dang, that algorithm is impressive, DrDre. I can't wait to see all the great projects that come out of its use.

We need eleven 5TB HDDs in order to have a backup as well as a way to distribute things US-side to people working on the restoration.

I don't have the money right now.

If we don't get these HDDs, then anyone interested in working on the restoration will have to coordinate with poita to send their HDDs to him and I don't think this is something he's interested in doing. Plus, we need a backup and can't risk having just a single point of failure.

The cheapest 5TB HDDs available at the moment are ~$130. This means we need to raise $1,430 in order to make this happen.

PM me if you're interested in helping. No donations will be accepted until the goal is reached. Thanks!

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

DrDre, if you want a half resolution (3114×1344) full bit depth image to play with (16bpp tiff), then...

It has the alpha channel as well, so watch out for that...

Thanks piota! Here's the frame corrected. The middle frame is corrected using Harmy's Despecialized 2.0 as a reference. The bottom has been corrected with a tweaked Harmy's Despecialized 2.0 to reduce the blue cast, and to have a more neutral color palette (for full resolution open image in new tab):

Here is the other Leia image in full resolution and colour depth, I'd be interested to see if the noise is still an issue.
