Nope. Seems there’s some problem with image.ibb.co in my neck of the woods maybe,
can’t open in Firefox or Chrome. I can see other pics just fine.

Anyway, I like the direction this regrade is going!

I edited the post with imgur links, hopefully you can see it now. I’m getting tired of image hosts not working.

Thanks !

About the Grindhouse editions, I have read they not “GOUT compatible”. Does it mean that it can be hard to find subtitle tracks for instance ?

ESB Grindhouse is not “GOUT compatible” but Harmy’s ROTJ Grindhouse is.

And about the Despecialized editions : which ones are from the 35mm scans ? I have downloaded the v2.7/v2.0/v2.5 versions from the instructions on this forum : the READMEs do not mention 35mm films as sources. Are you speaking about more recent versions that have not been publicly released yet ?

SW 2.7 uses some shots from the 35mm SSE version (IIRC only shots that were completely GOUT upscales were replaced with SSE), ROTJ 2.5 was totally overhauled with a lot of 35mm footage, and ESB is still in a more SW 2.5 state (all gout upscale, no 35mm footage to my knowledge).

If you can find the links to the image comarisons Harmy made, they should say if 35mm footage was used in any given correction.

These balances look great DrDre!

While the discussion in kk’s thread was going down I had already started making an imperfect test correction of his version inspired by the 35mm colors just to see what I could do with it.

Thanks! For some reason I can’t see the image you posted, sadly.

Weird, it’s still showing up for me. This should work:

Ah, yes, thanks! Looks good, although I would reduce the green a bit.

still can’t see.

sorry for off topic…

BD

Regrade

I started again by matching to a 35mm frame first and adjusting from there. I think this looks like a pretty good attempt at matching the BD to the 35mm look. Thoughts?

(I’m a big fan of the 35mm look, if you can’t tell 😛)

EDIT: Sorry if I’m hijacking your thread, haha. Just want to pitch in a little, 'cause I always love a good Raiders discussion (one of my favorite films).

Is there an “I can’t find this font!” thread? If there is I can’t find it.

Sonic had blue arms originally confirmed!

Didn’t you notice its little balls?

And at the end of the thread… (clap) we’re friends!

I’m a mail plane.

According to my research there’s a possibility I might be…female?

Also, Robert Hardy has passed away aged 91. Those of you in the U.S. might recognise him from Harry Potter but he’ll always be Siegfried Farnon to me. A legend, who simply couldn’t have been any more British if he tried!

I’m an American and he’ll always be Siegfried to me too! Love that series. RIP.

Is there a “cool band names” thread? Something like lurker names but band names/albums?

…di-…did you say Death Note is the best anime in existence?

I’m sorry but I guess I can’t say I agree. It’s kind of bad. It’s not interesting or anything. I don’t mean to say my opinion is right, but my opinion is totally right 😉.

On another note, I’ve been watching a Japanese cartoon series called Ranma 1/2. It’s really great (much better than Death Note 😉). I actually started watching it because this trailer for the first theatrical film in the series was at the end of all the 4Kids Pokemon VHS tapes, and recently I found the series and decided to check it out. (with the original audio, of course; that English voice is awful!)

^Imps’com suck conformed.

Also the Bible conversation happened over fifteen days ago, which I’m pretty sure means ‘no longer relevant’.

Anyway, I read The Great Gatsby again, and I appreciated it more this time.

I also tried reading Jurassic park before that but didn’t make it past 75 pages before I simply lost interest. Michael Crichton wrote that book as an impossibly boring slog. When something is actually happening and meaningful it’s super interesting and well written, and I’m excited for what’s going to happen next, but then that’s all bogged down by three pages of unnecessary technical explanations for things I don’t care about. It’s like he can’t just get to the point. It took all the fun out of what was otherwise an exremely fun read. I might pick it up again sometime and try to finish it, but I can’t see myself spending any time on it soon.

I know I haven’t been here much lately, but I need whatever emotional support I can get right now. A close friend of mine passed away very suddenly yesterday afternoon. They suspect it was an aneurysm, or maybe even a heart attack of some sort. She was an amazing person with such a beautiful personality…I really connected with her, especially in the past few months. She was selfless, always putting others before herself, and nearly always cheerful and positive. Nobody ever saw this coming. She was too young to die–we were born on the same day.

This is the first time I’ve lost someone close to me. I’m not quite sure how to handle it emotionally. I’m just grateful that I was able to spend meaninful time with her the evening before I left to go on holidays.

I can’t even imagine. Thoughts and prayers to those who were close.

I remembered something I wanted to tweak on the regrade, so first post updated again.

^Now that’s helpful! I’ll definitely use an inferior blue in my next update. Even though weren’t saying that. 😉

Again, just saying “it wasn’t that blue” doesn’t help the project any. Saying that you have a Korean DVD doesn’t mean anything. Also, I fixed the excess of strong cold blues in my latest update, so I’m not sure how it can still be blatently too blue to you.

Thanks, coming from you that’s quite a relief! 😛
