4. A slight pull back on the shadows maybe or is the issue more than that?

Exposure is ok, but I see someone could possibly confuse the harsh contrast/shadows with underexposure.

1-2. ok for me
3. soft, contrast
4. vignetting gone, but in brightening you've pushed the contrast up a bit so I'd consider it borderline

1/2. Epic. They will join the que when I have some slots again.
3. Well that's better than expected for a shot that I thought would be a noise rejection at least!

Okay, rookie attempt no.1 at rectifying the vignetting manually. I've also resharpened BOPC. No other adjustments were made to the vignette rejection edits.

EDIT: I've also added an utter longshot. This being an experiment with RAW editing for the first time. Whilst I'm expecting a contrast rejection, could you please feedback on any other rejections as well?

Possibly.



Noticeable in three corners, especially right side.

1. Is this fixable on this image?

Possibly.

4. Odd as this is fairly tight on the crop. Again, this image had the lens corrections applied. I'll attempt to fix it on this image.

Hey there JP Crew.

3 fresh images and a different shot of the Lynx. I seem to struggle with choppers....

For helicopters, pretty hard to get otherwise.

Oof. May have to take another look into the depths of my memory card on that one then!

Are static propellors frowned upon? Have a few other shots where the prop was stopped. Hard to tell if it's blurry or soft to my eye still

Okay, corrected and uploaded.

With this Wildcat, I feel as if something is off but I can't tell what. Any advice for further editing? Also, resharpened OPET.

1. bit soft, but ok for me
2. needs CCW rotation
3. ok for me

1. Will add a smidgen of sharpening and post again later. If its not an improvement, I'll upload the first copy.
2. Any other issues with this one? Shot at a god awful angle through a fence. Will adjust the CCW tonight and post again.
3. Will upload this evening
