Thanks vbangle, I will probably mess with a couple more days and then that is it for SW, I have been tweaking a little more so I will post more snaps, I took the contrast tweak back out, not really doing much anyways.

So what should I try next? I need some suggestions, I like the above tweaks, at least better than the "as is" version, but I have not looked at other scenes yet either.

I think you that if the color tweaks you are using right now should be used unless they make some scenes look odd, then you should just leave it "as is." It looks good enough already. Either way it'll be a spectacular release.

EDIT: some of my comment was accidentally deleted it before being posted, reinserted "should be used unless they"

Well personally I like some of these tweaks a lot better than the "as is" version, but as of right now it is staying as is, but I my have to do a V4 for my own personal viewing, but like I said, if we can come up with a tweak that most like, I will render a new version up, I am giving it a couple more days or so.

I liked the last color tweaks and I thought everyone else liked them, too. I'd prefer that to the "as is" version.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

Oh sorry, I think you misunderstood me. I prefer the color tweaks too and would love to have them on the release. I'm just saying that, in the unlikely case, it makes some scenes look VERY odd, then an "as-is" version should be released instead. Either way I trust your judgment, Dark Jedi.

EDIT: just read my earlier post again and realized that it made it sound like I didn't like the correction. I edited it to make it express my true opinion. Sorry Dark Jedi

^^ If that's the case, why not put the 8% boost that g-force left out back in?  That looked good enough in the first two versions and they pleased most people.

because I am not sure if that alone is worth a new multi hour re render and re encode, it is hardly any noticeable difference.

Fair enough!  I think it looks a bit better, but I can totally understand your not wanting to re-render.   :-)

I agree, I think the tweaks look great.

 

Seeing the word tweaked so close to that last shot of luke makes me laugh.

DJ could you please show us what your current tweaks look like in a space battle shot, maybe the opening shot with the SD shooting at the Tantive IV, and then maybe a shot of the jawas on Tatooine. If you can.

I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

Absolutely, and PLEASE request other scenes as well if it will help in deciding what to do, scene coming soon, eating some pizza right now.

Oh, can you please post some screenshots of the Darth Vader/Obi-Wan lightsaber duel, especially those where you see the Vader saber in motion?

Dam, you dont have a gamma adjustment do you? That Bar scene is so dark.....Of course Im talking out my ass, Ive never color corrected anything...

Damn, those look pretty great!  There might be a tad too much red in the highlights (looking at the Tantive IV walls and stormtrooper armor), but it's barely noticeable.

Also, gotta say, I still love those subtitles!

Wow!  Best yet.  Those look really good!  And I'm glad to see the blacks aren't crushed.  Love 'em

Damn impressive... can't wait to see these in motion in the comfort of my living room

Wow! I think this is the best color correction of the GOUT yet. Those lightsabers look especially good. Vader's saber actually looks very red and not pinkish or orange, and Obi-Wan's looks blue and well defined. The subtitles are excellent; the ones in the GOUT always bothered me. Nice work DJ! I think that with this color correction V3 will be perfect!
