Star Wars: A New Hope DEVASTATOR EDITION (V.2 a WIP)

DevEd V.2

Flipping the Death Star causes problems with the lighting now coming from the wrong direction when compared to the stardestroyer.

I flipped it because I replaced the earlier shot of the destroyer with the one from ESB;

so I wanted them to match.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Color matching and prediction: color correction tool v1.3 released!

I’ll do that. I was erring on the side of more smoothing only because I assumed it mattered how closely the test and reference images were identically aligned.

If I understand correctly, I could shuffle the pixels of both images into a random order and get the same result.

Have you found a smoothing number that works best when the sources just aren’t cropped or aspect-ed identically?

0.05 usually works for me if the two sources really look different.

They should be cropped the same.

Exactly this.

Why’ll you’re here Dr, why do sometimes weird colored pixels show up in the highlighted areas and never seem to go away on any settings?

I’m trying to use this for two different sources for ESB, one from 2004 and another the 19SE. I align the images as best I can before generating the two frames to feed into the tool, but I can’t get it to be exact.

Would it be better to use a higher smoothing parameter? I haven’t seen DrDre recommend anything higher than 0.1, but it can go as high as 1. If the two images are not totally identical (same frame, but the sources aren’t pixel-perfect), is there a drawback to using 1 as the smoothing parameter?

you should adjust the color spaces to about 75. that yields better and more elegant results.
only use the smoothing parameter if there’s any color pixelation.

I’m wondering, are the galleries that show how Harmy drew on different sources to make Despecialized still available? The pictures.google.com links don’t seem to work for Empire or Star Wars.

I believe this is what you’re looking for which I archived a while back, hope this is it:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AowuMCRBTqsugdEa_kMz9CY3KsWXDw?e=hpRFhh

I ask for the comparisons for Empire and you send me the ones for A New Hope.

Why?

You also said “star wars” you didn’t specify just ESB.
chill out.

I just want to say I would like a link to when this is eventually completed.

I saw in a prior post that this project was temporarily abandoned, but I am really glad that you continued with this.

On another matter, since coming across fan editing a few months ago, the biggest shock is how much memory and storage required to do this work. I read articles explaining why, and it shows you cannot get away with a cheap laptop.

I want to thank editors for volunteering their time and money for the fans.

I’d like to echo this and also thank all the members that donated to DevEd and The gout preservation cause.
thanks.

EDIT: also if you haven’t already checked out Adywans edit it’s 200% percent better than mine! he’s been going at it for 16 years! he’s working on the HD version now. he’s already completed ESB too!

Alright, I’ll now render a smaller version for viewing.
I’ll be posting them on google drive by the way.
hopefully, they’ll be done by new years eve.

After that, I’ll probably take a break and return to the 4K ANH Remaster and Gout Restored.
But no release date promises are made, not yet anyway.

anyhow let me get back to Rendering…

goodnight everyone.
