Info Wanted: anyone done a TPM and AOTC colour correction?

Also, regarding that shot of Qui-Gon that is usually given as an example of really bad DNR in the new transfer, I don't think that's actually the case - it actually looks more like an upscale or maybe a sharpened out of focus shot - and it seems like it always was - check it out next to the shots that directly precede and follow it; BD top, HDTV bottom:

The shot seems to have much less detail compared to the neighboring shots, even in the old HDTV transfer, only there it's not as striking, because the neighboring shots aren't so detailed either and it has the dupe grain from the I.P.

  I see what you mean.

So, I had another chance to give the TPM BD a closer look and it isn't really that bad - both available HD transfers are bad in their own way but in direct comparison, the BD definitely wins over the HDTV/DVD master - it may have some of the grain removed but it has quite a bit of fine detail left in it and it definitely has tons more fine detail than the HDTV captures, so I think that if an HD theatrical reconstruction was to be attempted, the BD should be used as the main source.

Check this out:

Look at the detail on the tunic and Qui-Gon's hair and beard - I only have an 8GB 1080p HDTV capture of TPM, so the higher bitrate raw capture is likely better but I doubt it would make a huge difference in a low motion shot like this. I also tried adding some grain to the BD footage (3rd picture) and as you can see, it does give an illusion of more fine detail and I think it should be considered for a theatrical reconstruction using the BD as the main source.

The problem I actually find worse than the grain removal, is the color banding n the out of focus areas but there unfortunately isn't much that can be done about that.

  The Blu-ray with the grain looks the best, at least there is no Edge enhancement because you sharped it.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>

This was from a fan on the https://www.facebook.com/swrevisited page named Ivan.

 

Ady, did you consider to make ESB:R a little more brighter and crisper?

For example..

I raised shadows/highlights and added some sharpness (and a bit of grain). Obviously it brings an issue with crushed blacks but still looks nice. Just saying =)
