Pre-screening Advice for LewisW295 Please

[LewisW295]

1. borderline contrast
2. dark, contrast
3-4. borderline dark/contrast

1, 3-4 - I'll boost the exposure and add a little more contrast.

For 2, can you offer any advice for editing pictures of black aircraft?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I have these 4 images kicking about on my editor at the moment. These weren't originally going to even be uploaded but the edits have turned out better than I thought. All 4 were taken on less than ideal days. Would these be instant contrast failures? OE-FNP and ZM326 are the better ones by far in the original images and I'm hoping the editing may of saved them a little bit.

Borderline contrast, but would be acceptable for me.

Okiedokie. I shall bear that in mind Thanks buddy.

Admittedly, the lighting wasn't the best for this shot. I've had a fiddle with the brightness and I think this is more along the lines of what it should be for lighting.

Looks a bit dark.

Hi all,

Can I get your thoughts on this one please? Lighting wasn't fantastic and not sure if I've oversharpened it.

1. outside visible through the hangar door is blown out. Not sure if that's fixable.
2. sharpening looks ok; maybe a bit bright.
3. editing halos visible.
4. very soft. probably not fixable.

1/4. Okiedokie, I shall scrpw those two. I'll adjust 2 and 3 and then upload them. Thanks bud.

I'll do some digging on the subject first to see if I can turn up some useful information!

I do have some images for perusal....

1. Would this still be overexposed? The exposure seems a lot better to me now personally but I'm still not sure if this is correct. According to the histogram, this is mildly underexposed but my eyeball says it seems correct.
2. The sharpening has been amended but I'm not sure if I've now oversharpened it? I can't see anything obviously wrong with this now otherwise.
3/4. Too much of a lack of contrast? Both had sunlight from behind me. I also think the Diamond may be at risk due to the glare?

Yes, as I said, that's fine.

It wouldn't be. It would be completely unedited and just for feedback on whether my purple fringing is normal or excessive.

Still appropriate to poet that image here?

If you're not asking for prescreening, that's fine.

It wouldn't be for pre-screening, it would be just to show you the purple fringing as mentioned above. Or would that be better posted in another thread? One of the first things I do in my workflow is eliminate images with excessive fringing but I still keep the unedited file on my HD.

if you want us to pre-screen a photo, please post the photo you intend to upload. A RAW photo will not be pre-screened.
