Taylor P -- Pre-screening request

[Oojiflip]

1. cut off
2. soft/blurry
3-4. similar
5. soft, horizon

Would 4 by itself be OK?

Would 4 by itself be OK?

No, soft, obstructed, and awkward crop.

Prescreening is meant to be used as a tool to check certain images you are unsure about, learn from the feedback you receive, improve, then hopefully not need to ask for help in those areas any more. It is not meant to be a process where you post the maximum number of requests you can, wait the minimum 24 hours, then post the maximum again, and repeat. I see more than a few guys doing this, and it shows me that they are not really making any effort to learn from the process but rather are simply taking advantage of free screening. If you've taken 10+ images in similar conditions, there is no need to post all of them for feedback. One or two will do, and you can then apply that feedback to the rest.

Sorry, I've changed my editing process recently and I'm unsure if the shots I'm posting are sharp enough. I'm confident in my ability to judge contrast and the histogram, as well as centering and horizon, but as of late I've not been able to really tell if my shots are sharp enough, hence the pre screening requests. Also today was my first time using an ultrawide so I wanted feedback on if the shots were even acceptable in terms of distortion and crop.
My apologies for the repeated requests, I'll try and keep them to a minimum from now on.
Best,
Taylor

Hi,
I've applied the latest sharpening advice I received and would like to know if it improved the sharpness of my images, first is an example of my old technique, and second is the revised method of sharpening before downsampling. Is the second version any better? Also I usually use Preserve Details 2.0 but with the new method I've used Bicubic Sharper as that's what I've generally seen people use.
Best,
Taylor

Older one looks better. I'll admit I have it set to Automatic for mine

Just realized I caught 3 new registration F-35s at Lakenheath so I'll get those uploaded now and take care of the sharpening when I have some time to play around, I'll try auto!

Hi,
Wondering whether the below image is acceptable. Playing around with the histogram to make it look normal makes the shot look overexposed due to how dark the cloud was behind the plane. Would just a smidge of negative exposure comp work or is it good as is? Also using a different sharpening method, does it work?

Somewhat soft, but would be ok for me.

Hi,
Wondering if the Heritage F-15E is "special" enough to count as a special scheme?
Also is the sharpness up to scratch on these? If it is then I've finally got a process that can produce consistent results that are acceptable on the sharpness level.

Taylor

Yes special scheme. Both ok for me.
