akariifx - prescreening request / editing advice

[akariifx]

Hello, I just started editing photos in Lightroom, and I wanted to know if these were good enough to upload to JetPhotos. Also, yes, I know there are halos around the B737 and B717, I stupidly forgot to turn off Active D-Lighting. Would there be any way to fix it? Thanks

For some reasosn I can not open the attached files. However, I am affraid that it will not be possible to remove the halos caused by Nikon D-Lighting.

Not sure why the attached files stopped working. It seems to have stopped working for all the forums too, when I try to click on the file, it's just blank, and if I try to right click>open in new tab it just says "Invalid File Specified". I uploaded the image on Imgur instead: https://imgur.com/a/N5Zt25r

As with the Nikon D-Lighting, that sucks. I shot all my photos with Active D-Lighting on that day.

Thanks for the separate upload. Not a screener, but my opinion
No 1 (777) would look ok for me, I would crop more closer and its borderline regarding halos
No 2 (717) has visible halos, otherwise a nice shot
No 3 (737) has strong visible halos

Alright, thanks, sounds good.

1. (badly) overprocessed. editing halos like this can't be removed after the fact.
2. (harsh) contrast
3. heat hazed. not fixable.

I tried to fix the B777 a bit. Is this a bit better, or did I make it worse? If so, any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks

Contrast is still very harsh, and now there are visible editing halos.

Boost the shadows/bring down the highlights and remove the halos, but doing the former is usually what causes the halos in the first place.

Hello,
I tried to upload a wing view/inflight photo, but it was rejected for being unlevel.

Link: https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=11198886

I aligned the photo with the Great Salt Lake (in the top right corner) and it looked straight to me, so I thought it was fine. I think it’s just the mountains in the middle that make it look off.
I could just be wrong though, and is actually slightly off. Would it need a CW or CCW rotation?

Thanks

Needs CW rotation.

A bit dark/harshly contrasted, otherwise ok for me.

I made them a little brighter, is it better now?


Also, I tried to fix the wing view picture's rotation by adding a CW rotation like you said previously. Is it also better, or does it need more rotation?

Thanks

All slightly improved.

Hello,
Prescreening for these two photos please.

The 717 was previously rejected for being dark/underexposed, and also for being unlevel for some reason. I understand the dark/underexposed part, but I'm not sure why it would be unlevel because my phone was laid flat against the window, and if you look at the gray thing in the background, (not sure what it is) it's straight.

Thanks
