I didn't understand your post at all, Stinky D (probably because I'm really bad at mathematical logic).

On a side note, like I said, I needed a little break from the original SW, so here's a little taster for Jedi:

All PMs sent :-)

Thanks :-)

Could someone please give me the timing (not the frame number) of this shot within the GOUT or the SE, I can't seem to find it. Thank you.

And I also don't see how Rob's post has anything to do with this discussion :-)

But I guess he just wanted to tell us that he's drunk on his boyfriend's junk.

;-)

Well, yeah, they didn't appear insanely red, they probably appeared quite natural like they do in the corrected picture I posted (well, at least natural for someone who just spent some time shooting a film in Tunisia).

There was no magic involved, the overexposure just made the camera brighten and blue/cyan shift the whole image, which is the only thing I tweaked about it (oh, and I turned saturation down a bit).

No, they couldn't. Girl stormtroopers have specialiazed combat armor designed to distract enemies:

I added the same Obi-Wan frame from my latest workprint to this post.

Why would you think that's more accurate than how the technicolor presentation actually appears? Makes no sense at all.

Are you Red Five's sock account imaginary girlfriend? ;-)

Well, yeah, I'm taking a little break now. I'm not not working on it but I was getting so tired of it, that I decided to work at a slower pace. This shouldn't affect the release date too badly, it should still be finished in a week or two.

And those technicolour pictures can't be taken as a perfect reference, they are just pictures taken by a digital camera from a cinema screen after all and they're definitely too bright and also quite blue-shifted (look at Obi's hair and Luke's shoulder) and slightly green-shifted (Luke's hair):

Once you correct those issues, you get something like this:

(I admit I may have gone a step too far but you see my point.)

EDIT: Here's this frame from my latest workprint:

Thanks for the support guys :-)

Yeah, these are quite old. The need to colour correct them to account for the fading means that they can't really be used as a reference.

Well, if we're not counting the EU, where it is clear that the Wookies are being enslaved and considered lesser beings by the Empire. So it is the EU, that made Leia a racist ;-)

I've never seen the TB version, so I couldn't tell you.

No, it isn't, it is true 1080p. When they did the scan for the 2004 DVD, they made it @ 1080p. Here are some comparisons someone made ages ago:

There would be no reason for me or Adywan to do our edits in HD, if the source was just an upscale.

There's no way to do that without some quality loss, you always have to re-encode to get rid of the black bars.

I just skimmed through the whole G'Kar Jedi and the smearing is unbelievably bad on that one throughout, even in the brighter scenes, which is unusual. And I think it is DVNR because from what I read, the TB version has less smearing but more dirt and grain.

Oh crap!! Now I'll have to fix those too :-/

;-)

Well, he's talking about Obi's skin but in the SE he's purple and just look at the colour of his skin in the GOUT, totally orange. And if you discolour people more than I did, they start looking like their ill and I seriously dislike that look.

I'm glad you managed to DL it. MU is weird lately, I was afraid I was gonna have to re-upload the whole thing.

STFU already! Sorry but I thought this debate was over.

That's funny how this presents shit quality next to even slightly more shit quality as some great achievement :-)

Thank you guys. I'm glad the effort I put into the flashes is appreciated, and I must say the results do make it totally worth it. I also decided to fix the shots where Obi's cape goes black - they bothered me too much:
