The Owen/Luke/C-3PO frame is slightly green shifted, because the reel was corrected with a global correction model. When I balance the frame individually using the algorithm, and then perform a gamma correction, I get a result very similar to Dreamaster’s manual correction:

Aye, roads are converging now.

After gamma correction:

Here is one of your corrections to the Blu Ray in February which isn’t too far off from this either. Looking over that thread you were working more from that photograph above as inspiration and it kept leading you to over-saturate the corrections later on. And now we’ve seen a version of Jedi that has more neutral sand as well, we can be more confident that the sand wasn’t super orange originally.

Here I reduced the yellow somewhat in the Owen shot:

Still on the whole a lot of those “final” blu ray correction shots are/were phenomenal even before this thread. 😃 I’m confident you now have enough data to knock the first half of the blu ray out of the park! (Almost time to move onto the second half??)
