Hi,

after many many rejections I would like to ask if these pictures would have any chance or if not, what I could to better on it. These are the 5 pictures.

Thank you so much.

All a bit dark and have light to medium-strength editing halos visible (overprocessed). Fourth also shows a bit of heat haze.

Thank you so much! What about these ones?

Thank you so much! What about these ones?

1. soft, dark, color, overprocessed
2. soft, borderline dark/contrast

Thanks. I tried again and edited an other picture. Do you have tips to keep the sharpness while scaling? I'm using Photoshop Elements 2021 if it's important for that question.




Edit: What does It mean if its to dark? Is it the background?

1. contrast, soft
2. overprocessed, borderline centering

Sharpness shouldn't really be affected too much when re-sizing; though any flaws should be hidden better at smaller resolutions. Images becoming softer when you re-size them is not really a thing that happens. A soft image will remain soft when resized, and a sharp image should remain sharp.

1. Should I add more of less contrast?
2. Does „Overprocessed“ mean, that there are halos again? Or to much saturation?


I didn‘t thougt that it‘s so heavy to take pictures wich are good enough and edit the pictures. But it‘s good to know. Thanks for your prescreening service.

Does the error occur due to incorrect preprocessing of the RAW file? On my camera and the JPEG file is sharp.

Poor contrast due to overcast conditions.

2. Does „Overprocessed“ mean, that there are halos again? Or to much saturation?

Editing halos are visible.

Aaaaah … now I think I know what you mean or contrast means. The contrast between the sky and the plane. It’s maybe to early in the morning haha.

Okay, I don‘t know how to fix the Halos. Everything I do will generate halos. Hmmm.

Maybe this picture is better?

No, the amount of direct light on the aircraft. The sky visible in this image is irrelevant.

Contrast/color and borderline soft.

Hey,

I tried to work at the some pictures again. It seems that at least the "Halos" are gone. I hope there are now better.

1. overexposed, heat haze
2. horizon, color/contrast, soft/blurry
3. borderline noisy/harsh contrast
4. (harsh) contrast

Hi, one last try of this plane! Hope it's now better. Otherwise I don't know how to improve.

And an other question: I have a picture in the queue, a Cessna 152 (D-EBPC), should I have choosen "Small Prop" as categorie? It*s a private plane. Actually I don't have any categorie.

A bit soft towards the nose, and looks like something was removed a bit sloppily above the wingtip. Contrast should be ok.
