Hey everyone! New here but i want to make a short post.
I am currently working on Star Wars despecialized 1080p
I believe we finally have the right sources to create it.
I only need one more source.
If anyone could find me a Blu ray download (High Bitrate) of Star Wars ANH blu ray Color corrected to original 1977 colors that would be great.
Anyone who helps me out in this project will be put in the credits part of my download along with sources!
Thanks Everyone!
Liam
What are your sources?
Also, Harmy’s v3.0 will be 1080p across the board for all the films.

mwah
Team Negative 1’s scan of ANH. True 1080p no upscaing like harmy’s. That kinda bothers me because i have ocd and i want full 1080P no 480p sources.
Yeah we all want that, but that wasn’t available until recently. Which is why Harmy is using all 1080 sources for v3.0
because i have ocd and i want full 1080P no 480p sources.
What does ocd have to do with the original resolution of sources?
Mine will be out very soon i just need to fill in the blu ray color corrected shots.
Because 480P upscaled to 1080p isnt true 1080p
But that has nothing to do with ocd.
Harmy wasn’t using 480p sources because he wanted to. He did because that’s what was available at the time.
I want everything to be 1080p True. I can tell the difference when its a gout upscale than a blu ray shot and i get really annoyed.
Does anyone have a source for color corrected ANH blu ray?
We all want that. We can tell too. No reason to get annoyed though. A ton of hard work and dedication went into the previous versions of despecialized. No need to be all disrespectful about it.
Yeah i understand how difficult it was and if I was put in that situation i would have to use gout.
Does anyone have a source for color corrected ANH blu ray?
Yeah. It’s called the bluray and color correction skills.
How are you color correcting it? Are you wanting to match a specific source? Are you just eyeballing it until it looks good to you?
Im pretty good at cc uf i have the right sources example Team negative1s 4k ESB clip red removal and matched to original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngzfIvLEhNI the luke part is not great but the yoda part looks perfect
This isn’t going to be anywhere near as easy as you are hoping and planning for it to be. Simply having various 1080p sources doesn’t make this work.
I think both Darth Lucas and I realized how incompatible the SSE is as far as just dropping in some of the shots into the BD. For instance, everyone wants the Dewback or Sandcrawler shots replaced. Switching from the BD to these shots will be immensely more jarring (OCD or not) than the way Harmy has done it.
For 2.7, I checked out most of the shots with GOUT element to determine whether or not using the SSE would be an improvement. In some cases (such as this http://l1.picsurge.com/cCwnAo/pDP6EP9rPb.jpg ) there is no question that it helped the picture quality. I replaced most shots that were 100% GOUT. There are some shots that, with the SSE scan, just aren’t really improved as much. Keep in mind that to get them looking even as okay as they do in 2.7 required additional automatic and manual cleanup on top of what TN1 has already done, as well as grain reduction, sharpening, color adjusting, and stabilization. And that was for only a few shots, as opposed to every single specialized shot in the film.
You need to consider how many shots Harmy had to use just a small GOUT element with the rest of it staying Blu-ray sourced. You’ll be downgrading the majority of the shot in those cases. And then the whole shot will switch back to blu-ray and the quality difference will bug you. Unless of course you’re planning on rotoscoping all of the 35mm elements into the Blu-ray footage. In that case, you’ll be working on essentially what exactly what Harmy is doing. This would be a very long project, and Harmy will probably have better scans when he does it, resulting in less of a drop in picture quality.
I think you’re also making light of the immense task of color correction. I think you’ll see from threads like Dr Dre’s that this is no trivial task. I don’t think anyone has a color corrected blu-ray that’s ready to go for you. There are some works in progress. But as far as I know, most of those projects are going to feed into Harmy’s work. So, although it will probably be a very long wait until Harmy’s 1080p, GOUTless 3.0, I really think you’ll be better off waiting than trying to tackle this yourself.
If it really just is a desire to be rid of GOUT/97SD elements in Despecialized, you can have a go at removing the remaining GOUT sources from 2.7 just for the hell of it. It’ll be 720p, but it’s feasible. I’ll be happy to point out what’s left. And if this actually turns into a viable project I can send you the lossless 2.7 files I guess.
Alternatively, since the main thing bugging you is shifts in quality, and I don’t think your proposed project will help that (rather, it will make it worse), the SSE on its own might just be the best version for you. Hopefully 1.5 will be out soon and have some nice improvements.
Thank you for typing all that out so I didn’t have to towne32 haha
Turned out to be more than I planned, haha. But it’s hard to emphasize just how much work these projects can be, and how easily you could start out on a massive project to find out it was never worth the trouble.
Edit: It’s a valid way of thinking, though. We’re just not there yet. Once we have amazing scans available of all three films, with amazing cleanup and an amazingly color-corrected BD, this would indeed be a project most of us could tackle with some editing software and a source to synchronize it to.
God I just hope that an official release comes soon. I know that’s obvious and everyone hopes for it, and I’m not meaning to belittle the amazing hard work people here have done, but damn that has strong potential to just blow everything we’ve ever seen before out of the water if it’s done right.

It’s just someone thinking that, since the blu-rays and SSE are both 1080p, everything is in place to make a 1080p despecialized. It’s easy to misjudge how much work goes into getting sources to match, especially those two. The interesting thing is that it was proposed as a solution for disparate sources bothering him due to OCD (not clear if clinical form or internet slang form that everyone has), when the results would be much worse for that kind of thing.
God I just hope that an official release comes soon.
That hope, and the rumors supporting it, will be twenty years old soon. They grow up so fast.

NOT AS FAST AS ME
I GREW UP FASTER THAN ANYONE
JUST ASK MY FIVE NANNIES
I WOULD ASK THEM MYSELF BUT FOR THE RESTRAINING ORDERS
KK650’s semi-specialized is color-corrected and removes some Special Edition changes. Maybe worth a look OP. It’s on the paradox.

If you like all the characters looking like they have Jaundice yes.
Bitchy and rude remarks aside his partial despecialization is good enough for me I just wish he’d release an in color corrected version. I still have the histograms from way backup in the day I could use with results that are at least better thanblu ray.
