QUALITY Rejections

[StefBrat]

Just my 2cent as a normal user:
I don't understand why you complain? If you have so many experience as you said then you should see clearly that the linked photo is underexposed. So why do you compare with others instead of simply fixing and reuploading. What are your minds behind that post...I'm not getting the point.

Of course there are sometimes small differences that can come from different screens (user and screener) and also different workflows. But I saw your linked photo before it was removed and to be honest I could not see why it's worser then yours? For me your linked photo was in quality better then yours.

Then compare YOUR rejections to YOUR accepted images. Do not compare to someone else’s accepted work. Your image is clearly underexposed, the histogram clearly confirms it. The histogram can be adjusted to fix the problem which is the route that you need to take. If you continue to compare to the work of others you will find that you will be ignored.

I'm talking about quality and not histogram. Or have or do not have quality, end.
I send photos to the jetphotos almost 16 years, I do not need to compare myself to anyone.

There are thousands of images we could compare and argue which is better/worse, darker/brighter, sharper/softer, but we won't. Please keep the discussion to your own image(s).

Firstly, it is considered extremely rude to compare your correctly rejected image to someone else’s correctly accepted image. The histogram on your image has a flat line on the right hand side which indicates the underexposure. This histogram can be adjusted.

negative, It is what I think.

unfortunately reject quality photos and accept photos of poor quality.

These photos have no chance at all of being accepted, as they lack basic photography basics (both are backlit, bad framed) and qualities (JPG compression, cropping, ...).

You need to start with other photos.

It would also be good to learn to understand basics of taking photos and editing photos. For example: resizing photos does NOT mean losing quality.

Hello, come to my rescue !!!
I have rejections of my photos. I want to display the new plane APG AIRLINES JetPhotos and Fr24 but my photos are rejected for bad qualities or Cropping / Photo edges / Size Ratio / JPG compression artefacts.
I can not resize them without losing quality.
I ask you for help because I am French and I speak very little English. So I can not search the forum to find my answers.
Thank you
Stéphane

Ηi Sergio,

as of the 1st pic, a good way to avoid JPG artefacts is to save them at the maximum quality. At Photoshop (CS or whatever) File-> Save As-> JPG and at the dropdown menu, choose Quality 12 (the maximum value) and Progressive Scans 5.

The 2nd pic. Yes, the mountain is part of the pic but the sky above it , is not. So try to crop it better, with less sky visible

Thank you, flying Doc.

I always save jpgs with quality 12 (after having done all the postproduction work on the RAW file and, rarely, some other adjustement in CS6). I have also read the tip and trics thread and other threads, but I still do not understand exactly how are the quality standards of this website. In fact, even now I'm not able to see the jpg artefacts of pic 1... It is MY fault, mind you, but it is anyway frustrating not to understand completely what is going on. I never had such issues with landscape photography.

I'll crop differently pic2, I'm understanding that aviation photos follow different rules if compared with other kinds of photography. Probably, I underestimated how strict are the composition rules explained in the guideline thread.

Thank you again for your help.

I am now a little bit discouraged about uploading photos to jetphotos site. I checked the guidelines, and I decided not to upload a lot of photos I had in my archive. However, I had a few photos that I thought could be acceptable, but they got rejected too. Sincerely, I can not see why they are flawed, even looking to the examples in the guideline thread, and even if the rejection reasons have been explained.

Maybe some more comprehensive tutorial on how to address the quality issues in order to meet the website quality standards would be helpful, I don't know...

These are the photos I did not expect could be rejected:


- JPG compression artefacts - How to avoid jpg artefacts, since the website asks to reduce the photo size to 1280xN?


- Bad Composition (bad framing / aircraft not centered) - The mountain is a part of the photo... The helicopter is used for mountain rescue...

Some people think they have to upload every picture on JP and can´t keep it for their "private" collection. I uploaded also some terrible photos many years ago. So shame on me
As seahawk said there are many other opportunities to share the photos.
So I am still hoping the screeners will keep a closer look on bad weather (quality) photos to reduce the queue.

[seahawk]

With options like flickr and facebook you still can share all pics you have taken without the need for any screening process. Imho this should always be your first option, with an acceptance at jp.net being just an added bonus. And the main part is enjoying the time spent at the airport.
