Well, I haven't rendered it this way yet, but I was close, made some tweaks, and went too far, then settled for something closer to the previous render. I'm trying to keep a balance in flesh tones. Leia tends to be pale and Uncle Owen tends to be red and dark. The key scene for me is where Ben finds Luke and R2. They need to have a touch of red in their skin without looking like lobsters. Owen and Luke at the droid auction are just red. This also makes C-3PO less orange-gold and more brass. I tweaked the saturation so that C-3PO isn't so gold on the blockade runner. This has the effect of tinting the blockade runner corridors and Death Star walls with a hint of green, but I find the flesh tones to be pleasing. And please excuse the quality. coming from an LD source more than 10 years ago means it leaves a bit to be desired, but it is the colors I am after. This was so close to what I wanted to begin with, it just needed some contrast, sharpening, and color tweaking.
