Manually color correcting the Blu-rays?

Author
Time

I have a suspicion my nephews will be giving me the Saga Bluray set for Christmas.  I haven't bought it because of the many known issues but I haven't said anything around them about it because they're only in their teens and while I have made them SW fans over the years, they don't have the passion for it that we "vintage" fans do when it comes to perfect color and the pre-SE versions.

So, assuming they get it for me, failing doing my own color correction and remastering which I'm not up to doing (partly for tech reasons but mostly because I could never top the works of Ady and Harmy), what would be the easiest way to adjust the color settings on my TV to compensate for the various tinting issues of the BDs?  My set has a few pre-sets for different color settings so I could keep one for "normal" and use one or two of the others for "SW specific" settings.

What I'm thinking of is more general instructions...adjust brightness this direction from center, hue towards red (or green, as appropriate), contrast at XX% relative to brightness...that kind of thing.  Exact levels would be something each person would have to determine for themselves based on their individual TVs but at least we'd have a common starting point.

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

I bet someone is going to come along, and tell you that the only button on your TV remote you have to press to correct the colors while watching 'Star Wars' on BR, is the Power button.

TPM and AotC - Good luck... I've spent most of my time watching those trying to fix the settings, and they vary by scene. Not as much on AotC, but the color seems generally dull...

RotS - Looks beautiful. Leave it alone. I actually would suggest turning off the "Warm" color setting...

OT - Pretty decent across the board if you don't mess with anything. 

Preferred Saga:

3: L8wrtr
4,6-9: Hal9000
5: Adywan

BR was privatised from 1994 to 1997.

I agree with you. I too had a similar experience.

To nightstalkerpoet you don't listen, prefer the BD Krayt Dragon call he does ;-)

But seriously, I'm afraid you'll need to experiment because every TV has a different set of possible settings, so no one can really tell you what exactly to do. Generally, you may want to brighten it but not above the point where blacks become milky (you need a correct balance of brightness and contrast). The opening stardestroyer flyby could be good for this - play with the brightness and contrast settings, so that the stars get brighter but space remains black and the whites on the stardestroyer don't get too blown out.

My TV has separate RGB settings, so if yours does too, you can slightly increase red and decrease blue (Tantive IV coridors could be a good guide for this).

You might wanna decrease saturation a bit.

That's about all I can tell you.

That's all I was looking for, Harmy, general directions on what to change and how.  I realize the exact amounts will vary depending on TV set, lighting conditions in the room and so on.  I just wanted a starting point.

Turns out they didn't get me the set for Xmas but I've been debating it more and more as the prices start to come down now that the initial release frenzy has past.

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.
