Star Wars OT & 1997 Special Edition - Various Projects Info (Released)
Time

Well I don't know what to tell you Mielr, I don't see all this red you are talking about and I really don't like DrM's tweaks as of yet, it barely changes anything, and definitely not worth a new render and encode, like I have said, if more tweaking needs to be done make your suggestions to what you want done, because if WE don't come up with something soon it stays as is, there is NO way in hell I am doing a scene by scene, I really don't think it is worth it to me, I honestly can't see how you don't think this latest tweak is not better than "as is", but everyone see's these colors different I guess.

I mean I think these guys are suppose to be tan, they are in a desert for crying out loud, but look at the guys hands while Vader is choking him, they are not tan, look kind of pale white, couple more days and then I am jumping off this Boat with Dr M.

Obviously I would like to please everyone, but as Dr M has stated, it won't happen, LOL I should just take ALL adjustments to color,levels,etc. and such out and leave it GOUT only and let everyone do there own adjusting.

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.

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.

^^ 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.

Wait, what?  I'm very confused.

The images marked v3 DJ have color tweaks?  I guess I misunderstood.

Yes, I was comparing what I have been messing with, to what you are doing, as I said, I have not posted any V3 "as is unaltered straight g-force" pics in a while.

No I did not do any contrast adjustment, just trying to find an all around good fix that looks better than how it looks now as is, I will not do a scene by scene adjustment, that will just take to long and I do not have the patience for that kind of work, but what I have now, at least to me anyways, looks way better than how the "as is" V3 looks now, I could try messing with the contrast a bit and see what happens.

I don't remember if you ever solved the chroma issue with the Flunk-version, d_j, but this line in your script will help to reduce that problem:

mergechroma(blur(1.0))

Thanks, but these have actually been done for a while now and I don't think I will be doing these again, am I 100% happy with these? no, but I really like these ALOT better than any LD transfer, and I mean any, and the addition of DE's DD 5.1 rips from the LD's makes this sound great.

LOL, yes I did.

I will try out your new settings, but to me, I do not agree with you, this is not the best I have ever seen, Han seems just a tiny bit pale, and Luke's suit is not orange enough, but this is my opinion only, it does look better, but not that much at all to me, and definitely wouldn't warrant a re-render, again just my opinion.

DJ's shots do look good, but Doctor M's don't look half bad.  Either would be fine with me.

Is there also a difference in sharpness?

Both were run through the same script(g-force) so no difference but the colors.

If or When we decide that the color needs tweaking you guys have to keep in mind that I will have to re-render and encode ALL again, which is really no biggie, my PC can handle it, but once we figure what we want for SW, then we can move on to ESB and ROTJ.
