This is a rejection notification that I got from Airliners.net for the same photo which I got accepted here on Monday and currently have over 520 views on.
----------------------------------
The following photos were rejected:
(Please read more below)
- IMG_1518-1.jpg (Atlas Air Boeing 747-47UF/SCD)
The transition between solid lines on these photos give a very
jagged impression or the photograph appears to be generally
oversharpened. This is generally most evident on solid lines
such as wing leading edges, particularly if several lines are
close together, such as gaps between the wing and flaps,
cheat lines spaced closely together, or the aircraft titles
and registration. Try increasing the scan DPI and/or
eliminating any JPEG compression, then try sharpening the
picture less aggressively. You might also try using a smoothing
filter, or selective use of masks to avoid excessive sharpening
or areas where jagged lines may occur. A good airliners.net
image should be sharpened to just before the point where the
titles and edges of the aircraft start to turn jagged.
The photos were soft. This doesnt mean they are blurry (like motion
blur). It means that they could need this extra kick of sharpness.
This target can be reached by using the sharpen function of your
Photoediting program. For example in Photoshop try the Adaptive Unsharp
mask. But be careful not to oversharpen your pictures. Oversharpening can be
identified by jaggies. This is when a line that should have straight borders
has borders that look like stairs. Most scanners will not provide a very
sharp image without such post-scan manipulation. Raw digital camera output
is generally not of an acceptable standard for airliners.net without some
form of post-processing.
If you think you have been able to improve the Sharpness of the photos,
please upload them again. Note that we are still very interested in having
these photos in our database, we only ask that you try to improve the
sharpness of the digital version of your photos.
