Color matching and prediction: color correction tool v1.3 released!

After watching your colour matchings of I can say one problem with the special editions is that they altered the look of the OT to make them look like mid-90s movies to appear more "contemporary" instead of preserving the look of the late 70s-early 80s films they actually are.

 This is probably true. In fact I don't think I would've guessed that they actually came from the 70s/80s if the SEs were the first Star Wars movies I watched!

I feel I'll probably just be repeating myself here 'cause I've pretty much said all this or things to the effect before but here it goes. As most of you probably know I'm an OOT supporter. Does this mean I hate the SE's?? I dont like them but I dont hate them. I respect their existence and why Lucas did them. Thats all though. My problem as with many is that the OOT is no longer properly available. Not just because some like myself are accustomed to those versions but because they are iconic films that are pivotal to the eras they came out of. Same about the SE's. Regardless of what was good or bad about them, the SE's are products of their time. Now of course you got nit picky fans who pick one version of the film and solely want that version available but me I have no objection to both versions being available. At least Lucas' 'vision' is represented while old school fans get the version they want. But it isnt that way sadly. To those who like the SE's thats fine but me it will never be anything more than a 'what if???' version of SW. The originals are the real deal because even though they were in Lucas' mind 'unfinished' they were iconic and technically speaking were 'completed' with the technology that was achievable at the time.

 Seconded. I'd respect the SEs more if they were presented alongside the originals!
