Color temp or tone

The Dark Knight Blu-ray is the best movie to calibrated your T.V.

Use this scene for brightness(black level), to where you can see Bat Mans eye holes/nose. Plus you need to see the traction of the tire(dark dark dark gray/gold,gold cus of the light).

 

 Use this scene for contrast, just to where you can see every black boards for the light tiles. Plus use this scene for color(saturation), to where the skin tones look normal.  

 

 Or this scene for the color(saturation),just to make the colored lights look natural. To where the top of the blue building is a dark blue, and the mid-top of the building is a vivid blue. Plus the red and the green of this scene needs to be a vivid red and green.                                                 And this scene is good for brightness too, just make the blacks as dark as possible and to where you can just see the differences between 90%-95% of the buildings side/top edges.  

 The Tint(Hue) should be 50% green and 50% red. Remember that color tone should be at the warmest setting, and color temperature should be at the lowest setting lowest setting(may look a little red or yellow at first, but that's normal if you been watching on a cool or high setting). Sharpness should be 40%- 25%. DNR should be low,off,or auto. Gamma(if you have it) should be 2%-2.5%(2.2 is the normal standards for T.V.s), or full-range. Have no overscaning, set edge enhanment to off.

Hello there. This my 1st time making a thread.

This will help you calibrate your TV's.  Be advised that results may vary, and that I'm not responsible if you mess up your TV. 

Step 1. Turn on your TV, and leave it (ON) for 30 minutes.

Step 2. Go to

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/How-to-Calibrate-your-TV-Please-read-the-first-post/post/592204/#TopicPost592204

and then

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/How-to-Calibrate-your-TV-Please-read-the-first-post/post/593067/#TopicPost593067

Note: You may need to do this for each Input of your TV.

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.

Dunedain said:

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?

3D STAR WARS for the masses...has ARRIVED!

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.
