Seriously? Dude, people do have a life and can't always reply instantly.
x5gb did answer to most of your questions in the posts above anyway.
@x5gb:
Do you have more informations about these Sky Anytime HD versions?
Apparently, there is no DCP rip of BTTF 2 & 3 out there. There is a good HDTV version that can be found for Part II. It's the Canal+ version with its logo removed.
The wheels were yellow, there's absolutely no doubt about this.

the dcp version is what i'm talking about not the blu ray to make it look like the blu ray but without any of the dnr and have it color corrected.
The dirt and scratches on the BD were badly removed, look:
The only positive thing about the BD is the corrected skateboard wheels issue.
Here is a comparison video clip that can be downloaded here.
@zee944: As you can see on this clip the color issue lasts for two shots.
I've used a plug-in called "FilmConvert" with some manual settings.
By the way, I'm keeping you guys informed. I've just received an answer from Universal and they told me the 30th Anniversary edition will use the same masters as the previous release.
Someone please find a 35mm print somewhere.
The skateboard wheels are yellow there is no doubt about this, they are turning pink on two shots in this scene that's all.
The "corrected" picture comes from my own color corrected version. It's not that green to be honest, it's just this incredible amount of pink that makes you think that.
Guys, have you noticed this issue before?

The problem is here since the 2002 transfer but was corrected for the BD release.
Strangely, there's a similar issue in The Shining as well.
Trust me, the colors of the LD are really close to the DVD/DCP that wouldn't be that useful to use it as a reference.
I'm the dude who did the second screenshot. I agree that it is a little bit too bright but you have to understand that it's based on an old TVrip made from an original 35mm print.
Now that could be interesting as reference for a color correction don't you think? ;-)
TV's Frink; I've made you a nice image.

No, we used to process full 4K .DPX files on the trusty G5.
That's weird, we already proved that no one cares about 4k.

Indeed, we're going 28K now, period.

We need the Trilogy to be restored in 28K, period.

Thankfully we aren't stuck with 250GB HDDs though!
Tell me about it.
I guess you would be stuck with ProRes only. Maybe 2K Raw...

More on Lowry's Bond restoration here:
Wow, at 2:24 the film scanners you can see in the background look just like the one poita has.
Edit: RU.08 Okay, so it matches what you said in your previous post.

Poita, how's the 35mm version going?
Half Res: (3984x1791)
Wait. ~4K is only half res? :O
He's probably scanning the reels in 10K indeed. Then 4K would be used for the master and finally, 2K/1080p for the release.

@ilovewaterslides: even if I agree they are too blue for my tastes, the phrase "With more natural colors" may refer in comparison with an even more blueish, untouched version...
Judging by the previous raw screenshots that they posted, I'm pretty sure the print itself is not that blue at all. It has a pretty obvious golden tint to my eyes.
More natural colours, are you serious? These definitely got too much blue.
I've noticed on the Super 8 topic and on your last corrected 35mm scans that you also have some bluish clips. Is it a strange coincidence or do you maybe have a badly calibrated monitor?
I don't want to sound pretentious, I just wanted to clear the things up because I thought the colours didn't look "like they should".
Nice find.
Only 4 reels tho, I'm pretty sure the actual movie would stand on 8 reels since it's pretty long.
Plus, I don't understand the Paramount logos on the plastic holders, isn't Harry Potter a Warner franchise?

I say KEEP the cue marks:)
I'm pretty sure he won't. For the same reason he doesn't want to keep the orange streaks.
Oh, good. Glad to hear it!
Speaking of cool members, does anybody have news from poita?
I hope he's okay, He hasn't post for a while.
Anyway, I would almost prefer a raw scan of the print like that to a color corrected one. These colors look just too darn good for me :-)
'04 looks like CG crap to me. The '97 one ALMOST looks like a puppet and reminds me more of the ROTJ Jabba.
Edit: Wow, sorry negative1. I think we posted at the same time. Anyway, these shots are looking great. I personally kinda love these colors to be honest, feels authentic.
Are you guys actually serious? The '04 Jabba is the worst thing ever made after Jar Jar. The '97 one is indeed awful but like 100 times better than the '04.
Wow, Andrea that was quite impressive indeed! This LD is really important to my eyes, even if it has an horrible pressing and weird colors I really enjoy watching it. Have you considered capturing the whole movie then apply the same treatment to it? It would be quite interesting.
I don't have the Pyramid box set but I have the first Gold edition which uses the same master as you already know :-)
