Yes, I noticed it too. The reality is, that any color balancing algorithm uses some criterium to balance the colors. Mine is no different. The second reel has a lot of red/orange in almost every shot, and almost no green, meaning that the colors are pretty biased, and therefore unbalanced:

It’s very difficult to find shots with sufficient amounts of red, green, and blue to calibrate the algorithm. I’m trying to figure out a way around this, but this is a bit of a challenge. The current algorithm is less sensitive to this problem, but as these shots show, apparently still too sensitive.

Am I the only one who thinks this image FEELS perfect? 😃

+1 😉

I don’t really think it’s “perfect”, 3PO is awefully orange in it. That said, because of you guys I made my own coloration of Star Wars blu ray with a high orange push and it looks a lot like this. Maybe I’ll post some screenshots of it in my thread on the freebie improvements I did on the Silverscreen edition.
