None of this stuff looks like it needs a lot of colour correction. Dirt & scratch removal, certainly, but there's not much fading/excessive contrast...
The links are broken, could you please fix that?

These are the color corrected versions from the first faded Kodak print.

Of course they are... from 1979, I think.
I mean most of them were posted here before they started the blog.

Wow, these look great! :)
The Star Wars trilogy. There can be only one.
Those last two screenshots look almost perfect. Just get rid of the green cast, and bring down the contrast a smidge.
Ok here it goes: "Impressive!....Most impressive!"

I think you missed the joke.

Are these colour corrected? Because they still look off to me - way too much red in some of these. Maybe it's the years of watching the washed out GOUT, but yeah.
Aside from that (and looking past the .jpg artifacts) these prints look amazing.
All the previous shots are color corrected from a very pink faded original.
Here are more from reel 2:

Wow, this is very cool. It seems the movie is nowhere near as blue as blu-ray suggests, at least as far as the Hoth scenes go.
These screen shots make me very excited for all of us. I can do patience well but I will admit that I'm giggly as a school boy that we might finally enjoy these AS they were when some of saw them originally.
Thanks Team Negative 1
:)

The timing reminds of the old trailers on the 2004 discs. Me likey!
I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.
Aaa...these latest reel 2 shots are nice! :) A bit dark, but very promising!
Keep up the comments and thanks for the compliments. We have a lot more to show including many video clips. Remember, this is a very early, rough correction. We'll have some comparisons from the early print we have. The current print is not nearly as faded, and provides the best reference. We'll have more pictures from that also:

Ah. That explains it. Thanks for clearing this up.

I LOVE looking at these. It makes it clear that there IS a way to save these fabulous movies and have their grace returned to them for fans to enjoy.
The shot of the Star Destroyers is freeking awesome. You wouldn't have a larger version one could use as a desktop background, would you?
:)
