Pre-screening Advice for LewisW295 Please

Bad color due to the strong purple fringing/chromatic aberration, and yes too low.

Ah! Right. Now that I can look into! Thanks buddy.

3. Is it a yellow cast on the image per chance? In regards to the centering, too low in the frame?

1. ok for me
2. soft, color, noise, centering
3. oversharpened, color, centering



There is (was) a black bar at the bottom of the frame on both images.

1. Thank you, will upload it and hope for a good result.
2. I think this one might be scrapped as it may be blurry rather than soft. I'll take a look into it another time when I'm on the PC.

Again, thank you for taking the time to look at these images for me. It's appreciated

Also, could you expand slightly for me on the ratio issue if it pops up again? They should be exported as a long side of 1280 from my editor which auto adjusts the short side to keep the aspect.

1. centering (too high), cropping/ratio, borderline soft/color
2. centering, color, cropping/ratio

Re-centered and cropped N142TW. By ratio, I'm unsure what I did to mess that one up!

G-CEZI has also been recropped, adjusted and resharpened.

And for good measure, a new shot.

Hi there,

Lesson learnt the hard way, save your work before cropping it....

Anyway, I have now taken a second look at N142TW and cleaned it and re-edited it. The PA28 has also been re-edited due to ballsing up the original crop.

Sharpness is improved, but still too low in the frame. Some chromatic aberration is visible, but not sure it would be enough for a rejection.

Correcting the crop shouldn't be too hard to do as I still have the original image. I'll go have another read of the cropping section in the sticky. The chromatic aberration will also get a look into and I'll see if I can correct it. Once I've made some changes tomorrow, I'll upload the re-edit.

Thank you for the push towards getting myself onto the PC to do my editing. The difference between that and my mobile is phenomenal. I'm very grateful for the time you've spent looking at my photos recently.

Hi there,

Managed to get myself onto a PC to attempt a re-edit of image 1. As soon as I got onto a PC I could see exactly what you meant about soft images. Not sure if I've made this better or worse. All I know is I'm starting over now with learning on PC instead. Hopefully a bit of improvement.

Sorry, not even close to being sharp. I wouldn't bother uploading until you are able to edit/check the images on a proper monitor. As such, there is no sense in prescreening them either.

Okay, advice taken on in regards to getting my editing done on a PC instead. I've gone back and revisited each of those images and increased the sharpening and noise reduction. To be honest, I can see a massive difference versus what I originally uploaded and thought was sharp vs how these are appearing now in LR. It's especially noticeable now when I zoom in along sections.

I'll spend a bit more time on the other photo which I haven't uploaded to see if there's a marked improvement.

That might well be the problem. I'm editing through mobile in Lightroom as the PC doesn't have a working memory card reader. On mobile these come out quite sharply.

1. soft/blurry, centering
2. soft, noise, contrast, dirty
3. soft/blurry, horizon, contrast
4. soft/blurry, noise, contrast, color, centering, vignetting

All of these images are extremely soft or blurry. If you haven't been able to pick up on that, might want to check your monitor settings.

In exchange, I have 4 for pre-screening if you don't mind?
