I know people have color corrected the OT, and holiday special. I’m wondering if people tried that with the PT to have more realistic skin tones and such.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
Info Wanted: Has anyone tried color correcting the PT

The color in the pre-2011 versions is pretty much fine.

I’m wondering why RotS looks exactly the same colorwise while AotC looks drastically different.
Maybe it suffers from being one of the earlier DI jobs and the 2002 files didn’t properly convert over to a 2011 format?

Rots is very close but not quite identical. Not noticeable without direct comparison, though. So it is indeed interesting that they screwed the aotc color so badly.

Yeah. I resorted to an HDTV source for my fan edit of AOTC despite a high level of video noise just because the colors looked correct. The BluRay colors for AOTC are very off-putting.

Isn’t the Blu-ray of AOTC DNR’ed too? I recall getting an HDTV rip and seeing much more noise than on the Blu-ray. ROTS seems to be the only “good” transfer in the set.

You don’t mean TPM? The HDTV version of that is extremely grainy, and the blu-ray is heavily DNRed. AoTC was shot digitally, so I’m not sure there was a need for DNR. The picture quality is better on blu-ray, though.

Could just be compression artifacts from the tv stream? Not sure.

I’ve heard others say AoTC was DNRed too. Being shot on early digital cameras, it’s not too surprising that there would be a lot of digital noise. This noise would look similar to grain, but it would be less prevalent. It’s simply an artifact of the ancient sensors the film was shot on.

Yup, I’ve been working on it. I posted some sample images. http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Yotsuyas-Saga-Color-Regrade/id/51163

I see a bunch of answers, but none address the skin tones…
Because seriously that’s long been my main complaint about the PT.

What about the skin tones? My goal is to make all 7 movies match, so what would I need to specifically address to fix it in the PT?

I assume he’s being sarcastic. Frink doesn’t care much for discussion of color timing, nor the more subtle PT issues rather than the glaring ones.

It’s hard to tell how many layers there are to your sarcasm at times. Didn’t know if you were refusing to acknowledge the issues with the skin tones, or actually addressing the lack of discussion about them. I still don’t know.
Anyway, it was presumably referring to the sunburnt skin tones of the TPM blu-ray. The tones look fine in the DVD, as far as I know.

I just think it’s funny that anyone could care about the skin tones when the movies have so many actual problems to care about.

I find it more worthwhile than color correcting the PT.

I was afraid that taking your comments seriously was a trap, but it was worth asking anyway.

Sometimes it’s worth springing the trap just to see what happens.
I’m pretty sure that was Ackbar’s motivation.

There’s already people making fanedits of PT. Would it hurt if a few worked on skintones instead?

Would it help?
It’s debatable if there’s any helping the PT, but at least fanedits try to fix things that are relatively crucial to the PTs successes or failures as movies.
