And one of the original image before I corrected it.

are you making an hd version of you fanedit?

I'm doing a bunch of versions, mostly for me. Like this one is getting a DVD on my shelf to preserve this version. But this is just the first step. I want to create three versions that I might release. I'm definitely going to document and publish all the settings I used to get the results so anyone else can do it themselves (if they are using Sony Vegas Pro it should be easy, and it should be interpretable to other software). I want the GOUT using the best of the what we have (a mix of the 2006 GOUT and the JSC LD capture), a color corrected (among other fixes that I have discovered it needs) Bluray with 5.1 audio, and my own edit. My edit will be partially despecialized and have a number of fixes. It probably will be 720p, but maybe better depending on what I can do with the GOUT.

Right now the things (other than overall color correction) that the Bluray needs are fixes to some blown out highlights (the sky in the burning homestead scene) and restored X-wing and Y-wing explosions in the Death Star battle. I had thought they crushed explosions were from the SE, but I found a copy of the SE (probably used for the LD's and aired in Europe before the DVD's came out) that shows that it was not an SE feature but is part of the poor restoration job. Also, the Imperial and Rebel graphics of the Death Star approaching Yavin are in pathetic shape. The Imperial graphic screen border is crushed to dark blue and the Rebel screen border is blow out to a bluish gray instead of the original very dark tones. And I probably will include a special feature so you can watch it with the stupid rock removed from in front of R2. On the disk I burn for myself that will be the only option, but as I am trying to restore what this should have looked like if it had been handled properly, I can't really leave the rock out, as much as I want to.
