zhf21 - Prescreening Advice/Editing Advice

[zhf21]

1. soft. not sure the quality is there
2. soft, noisy
3. soft
4. contrast, compression

Acceptable?

[Tyler Godfrey]

Acceptable?

Hi, Not a screener but 1 is soft and maybe a little compressed.

[dlowwa]

Acceptable?

1. oversharpened, overprocessed
2. soft/blurry. also a bit low, sorry I missed that before
3. contrast/exposure, compression

Only #2 looks easily fixable.

Okay, thank you! Here is 813GG one more time.

Also, what is with the compression? The settings on the camera and export settings in LR are the same. Why are some compressed and others aren't? Is it how I'm editing them?

Borderline soft/dark.

Could be the crop, the amount of NR, any other kind of processing.

Any luck here?

Overprocessed/overexposed.

[zhf21]

Overprocessed/overexposed.

Figured. Any better?

[dlowwa]

Figured. Any better?

No, worse.

[zhf21]

No, worse.

Oh. But I lowered the exposure. As you said?

[dlowwa]

Overprocessed = bad editing. Editing halos/effects are even stronger.

Oh, I understand now! Thank you.

I started from scratch. Here are the edit settings, too.

Badly overprocessed. Everything should be at 0 except perhaps exposure.

[zhf21]

Badly overprocessed. Everything should be at 0 except perhaps exposure.

Oh. Here is everything at 0. Completely unedited less sharpness and noise reduction.

[dlowwa]

Better, but strong halo still. Perhaps you are getting effects added in-camera.
