@pat man: Yeah, watching on a calibrated screen is the best thing to do if you want to see how it really looks.

Unfortunately, most people who will watch this probably don't have calibrated TVs or projectors, but hopefully it will look good to them as well since the colors are pretty neutral overall.

  I have posted A calibration forum here

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.

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?
