  • Photos Rejected for being soft

    A lot of my photos get rejected for being soft or unsharpened when My photo actually has the max amount of sharpening I can add? Does the contrast, exposure, shadows, whites, etc have an effect on the sharpness??

            It depends - first thing is to ask for the quality you are uploading at.
            If it's 1920, or 1600 - the standards are much higher and sharpness is one of the first things that is noticeable. Lower to 1280x720 unless the pictures are really good.

            If you are uploading at that quality in the first place, and still get rejected:

            Make sure you know how to use the "Detail" section in photoshop. Especially Masking, radius etc.
            Here is how i learned: https://photographylife.com/how-to-p...s-in-lightroom


            Finally, if neither of those work, it's because the photo is blurry or too soft to fix in the first place, and it won't be fixable.
            Try to shoot at a higher shutter speed, or from a closer distance.

                It would help if you posted examples, both of the edited and unedited image. Adding 'the max amount of sharpening' is irrelevant if we don't know where you're starting from. That's like asking "Can I get home on time? I'm driving the max amount of speed I can". No idea, since the max speed people can go will be different for each person, and I have no idea the distance you need to travel, so..

                  I find sharpening to around 80 results in a much sharper shot. Avoid using highlights and shadows when uploading to JP as they can cause editing halos.

                    Every picture needs its own sharpening, there's no fix settings. As Dana said, it all depends how sharp the image is on the original.

                        The tail is indeed quite soft, almost blurry. The first image is too small to have been the actual original, so can't comment more than that.
