Well, this conversation has been helpful. Lots of good info. I’m not liking Tarkin’s skin tones. Peter Cushing was pretty pale and never had much color (reference other sources such as his 2 Doctor Who movies) so I’m not in agreement with the coloring that gives him a nice rich skin tone. He and Leia should be fairly pale IMO.

That said, the conversation about the color of the Death Star Walls, coupled with using a separate level adjustment for each color channel has allowed me to fix my corrections (BR and GOUT) to show a slight blue to the walls and the green that was plaguing my previous BR attempt is gone. I’d post some screen caps but my system is busy trying to stabilize a video. I also haven’t finished tweaking it yet. I feel I am so close to what I think my final version will look like. I have to call what I’m doing to the BR a restoration because of all the gaffs I’ve found in the transfer that need to be fixed (and I’ve decided to remove that damned rock… can’t stand it). But I think I’ve found the single worst scene in the BR. When the Sand Crawler stops and the Jawas come in to select the droids to sell. R5-D4 is more pink than red. Any ideas on that shot? I thought I had it but I’m going to totally redo it.
