You can use anything you want of course. Please let me know if there’s anything specific that I can send you lossless versions of, since I really don’t think it can take another lossy re-encode. 😃

I will say that the one thing in my version that people have said hasn’t quite fulfilled their recolorization hopes is the Death Star interiors. They’re certainly ‘improved’ (in that they are closer to meeting my goal), but they are still quite colorful. As Mike Verta has said, the film and the sets do vary in color. And when they stray green, it tends to set off people’s ‘you missed a green shot’ radar. It’s impossible for me to tease apart what should be green, vs. what is getting the green treatment that Tatooine got. And anyway, my amateur skills are probably not enough to get everything consistent in some shots without messing with the skin tones, which are way more important.

Generally, I think the Death Star interiors show off the Technicolor process wheras Mos Eisley shows some weakness. So, I rather like the vibrant look. But I will say that I reduced the vibrancy of the blue exterior Death Star shots a bit, and made the color in the far shots of the approach more consistent.

Will have a more complete gallery up in just a few minutes.
