I think I have ROTJ nearly done. TESB is close. ANH is going to take some greater work to render a version that eliminates the 2004 transfer’s flaws, but I think I have the color correction nailed for the majority of shots. I had hoped to avoid using the curves in Vegas because there is really no way to relate the exact settings, but that proved to be the only way to handle bringing back some life to the color pallet. I ended up getting very close and then realizing that the BR does not use true black for the space shots. Sometimes you can get too close. I pulled back from trying to have the space shots be pure black and it looks good. I’m rending a low res copy (720x404) to watch and then I’ll post some screen shots and the settings I used (including screen shots of the curves settings). They look radical, but I think it works and it brings the overall pallet close to the GOUT. All three of the OT need some other specialized work to fix the bad 2004 transfer and TPM needs something that I have yet to figure out, but I feel I have 6 color corrections that bring the overall movies into a unified experience.
