There was a mall shooting this morning five minutes from our home in Columbia, MD. We ate there last night, right near where the shooting took place. WTF

 Yeah, I went to the library around 1:15 and found them in a "partial lockdown", which meant... people could come and go as they pleased. Not really sure what was locked down about that, but okay.

I have yet another question (see above post for my credentials):

Are you not participating in the same sort of revisionism as George Lucas by changing the titles of all threads made by you with your name instead of your sock puppet's name without providing the original title alongside the new and improved one?

 George Lucas is another of my socks.

 Then why don't you give us a good-quality version of the OT!?

Harmy is also one of my socks.

 no show, ankle, crew, or knee-high?

 No credentials.

I'm from the New Naboo News Noter.

Neither the frame scan nor the Senator photo look all that dubious to me.

The framescan is not saturated enough, and the Senator photo has the whites blown out. So, in that regard, they're at least "dubious".

Disclaimers: I don't know much about things like saturation, white balance, etc, I was sitting next to the guy taking the Senator photos, memory plays tricks, my monitor is not calibrated, etc.

Surely the first question suggests a potential answer to the second?

 So, what's your answer to it then?

Honestly though, at this point, I've read enough about people color correcting things that I am tired of it. He's probably doing a great job, and that's great, but I am no longer excited about such things.

What you're excited about, is the least of our concerns.

 Let me explain.

why don't you get any support around here?

Maybe it's because he uses

dubious photos

and others don't think it's worth commenting on a project that does so.

On the other hand, in my case, I don't show much interest in this thread because

Impressive work, NeverarGreat! Fascinating what repairing that can be done on this ugly video master!

BTW, that burning homestead transitional shot should not be pink shifted, no matter what you think. Trust me, it should not ever be compared with the original shot to begin with anyway.

Why do you base your work on dubious photos and why don't you get any support around here? Are they scared?

But if it was a set photo from some as yet unseen Wampa footage I'm trying to imagine how Luke would have fitted in. Did he have to do a bit of Wampa shooting between blowing up the AT-AT and getting to his rendezvous with R2 and his X-Wing?

 This is specifically why I said that promotional photos can depict things that aren't in the film. Like, not even in the script. Just here's a gun, here's Mark dressed as Luke, let's take a picture.
