Thomas Harding - editing advice

Hard to tell without knowing the quality of the originals.

Well the original quality is that they are quite noisy and dark so I had to apply noise reduction which probably made them softer. So I'll increase the sharpness a little bit just in-case.

Hello, may I have a pre-screen on these 4 photos, thanks a lot! Been struggling to level the BA A320 pic as I can't find an obvious vertical reference. I've tried to use the buildings in the background as well as the roof of the grey house to the bottom right for reference instead.

1-3. borderline soft
4. soft, contrast

Hello, may I have a pre-screen on these 4? thanks! Raised sharpness on all. Contrast also increased on 777 pic. I wonder if I've increased the sharpness enough because I find it hard to judge.

1-2. borderline soft
3. dark, soft
4. soft, contrast. contrast was already too strong, worse now.

Hello again, may I have these 4 pre-screened? Much appreciated! From the last pre-screen I could see I rushed a little and ended up worsening the images rather than improving them. So I've taken a break and now spent more time on each of them individually. I'd like to see whether these are actually up to the correct standard now. Still a little doubt on the 772 but at least another pre-screen can inform me of any further adjustments. Thanks.

1-3. compression, borderline oversharpened
4. soft/blurry, contrast

Will not comment on these again.

Is there anything specific that appears in an image after it has suffered having compression artefacts that I should be looking out for/what compression artefacts look like?

Other than artefacts themselves, often shows up as banding/blotchiness in the sky.

Hello, may I have a pre-screen on just this one photo? Thanks. First time I've needed to use a different aspect ratio other than 16:9 (I used 3:2 for this). Perhaps contrast issues?

Contrast is quite dark/harsh.

Hello, can I have a pre-screen again on this photo? Thanks.

Dark/contrast.
