It's cool, I try to help with updates myself to.
Facebook update form Adywan
UPDATE:
After talking to the 2nd & 3rd units that are working with me on these projects, they don't want the name to be changed from Adywan to AD1. So things will stay the same and no changes to the name will be made.
Happy Birthday
Thanks vbangle
Lol, with the rockets
Can some one please PM me on how you fit a full picture in a forum.
Very good comparisons.the colors are alot better.
I think for the OT 3D George Lucas should release the new ANH SE in 3D, then 3 weeks later release the Original unedited ANH in 3D for 3 weeks. Then Do the same for ESB And ROTJ.Just my opinion. You all can say what you think about the 3D.
Looks like R2 is just about an all CGI mess, bad CGI at that.

You mean the fact that the door is now three times bigger on the outside than the inside?pat man said:
The rocks in front of R2 is cool,but the BIG Jabba's Palace door i don't like
Yep that's what I mean.
I thought it was, I'll wait to see more comparisons.

Good luck with the move.
Yea!
Good luck on your exams.
2K is 1998-2048 x 1920 pixels, 4K is 4096 x 2160 pixels, 8K is 7680 x 4320 pixels. PM me if you have any more ?'s
Just my thought no big deal, and I do know what DNR is.

Very interesting about the frames. So to fix a part of a frame that has, say, a scratch, you go the frame before or after that isn't scratched. And then find that same part of the clean image that matches the frame that is scratched, and place the clean pixels from that part of the image into their correct places in the scratched frame, so it's all correct and accurate when it's done?
That's one method. Sometimes it's a bit more complicated, especially if it's a scene with lots of motion.

As to the colors, I see the problem, hmm...tough one to get around. But it's good that you've been able to come up with a way to get the overall saturation levels back closer to where they should be, while protecting the skin tones to a greater degree. Look forward to seeing the latest color correction method. Perhaps you could post that same shot of Han like on the previous page, would be interesting to see how the different methods compare.
I thought about that too, and here's a comparison of before and after.
Notice how the "oversaturated-glow" is gone now, and that Han's shirt also looks more accurate thanks to the slight hue change in yellows.

Thanks for the level of effort being put by dark jedi and yourself into trying to make this restoration as accurate as possible. :)
Thank you for appreciating it. :)
The reds in the background are now more natural in the after picture. The bottom is the new one right?
Very good Job Restoring bad frames.
Ad1 I like it .or u can just say the revisited project.But its your choice. :)

It makes me wonder how they're gonna handle the originals.
I kinda wouldn't be surprised if they decide to wait until the big 4-0 in 2017 and just spread them out over a few weeks like they did in '97.
On the other hand, the only reason I care even the slightest bit about these 3D re-releases is quite simple:
The chance exists that Lucas will do fresh 4K scans for the OT.
Honestly, I can't see it going any other way.
For TPM, they had the 2K files to go back to. Presumably it will be the same for Clones and Sith (yes, the cameras were only 1920:1080, but the movies' visual effects and final mastering were "finished" at 2K rez).
The originals were scanned at 2K almost a decade ago for the dvd, but lowry's restoration was only done at 1080p (1920 horizontal resolution, scaled down slightly from 2048). I don't know what source LFL used for that 3D "test" of the ANH footage they did years ago, but the Lowry-restored stuff is stuck at hdtv resolution, not cinema resolution. That means they either go back to the 2K scans and have Lowry (or some other company) re-do the restoration at full 2K this time, or they do the smart thing and just start all over from scratch at 4K.
If they were to do that, I find it very likely they would also see fit to finally restore the original versions as well. THAT'S the only reason I care about all this 3D post-conversion bidniss.
Or better 8K scans of the OT.That way the will be more detail in the films if they do add DNR for the 3D transfers.
What IGN says about Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith 3D,alot better than the Phantom Menace 3d.

We'll see :-)
Anyway, to give you an idea of the amount of detail, here's a screenshot comparison between the DeEd v2.0 mkv encode and the actual Blu-Ray, the BD is at it's native resolution, the 720p DeEd screenshot has been simply resized to 1080p in photoshop:
The colors look Great.
Harmy said:
Yeah, I know that would be best for such comparison course. The problem is that within the DeEd, I dare say there isn't a single frame that has the same or even similar colours, brightness and contrast as the BD. And all this adds to the perception of detail, so simply sizing a BD image down to 720p and then back to 1080p up wouldn't give you the right idea on the amount of detail in DeEd v2.0. But still, here it is; left untouched BD 1080p, right the same screenshot downscaled to 720p and then saved, closed, opened again and upscaled back to 1080p:
To me the 720p upscale has more detail than the official Blu-ray, maybe it's just me.
Ok I found some comparisons pic's of all 6 Star Wars films 2004 DVD vs. Blu-ray.

and Jaws 30th anniversary DVD vs. the Restored 2012 Blu-ray.
