Bad Over/Under Contrast

What does it mean?

Any help is appreciated.

Basically the white is too white, the black is too black.

Oh...so should I lower the Contrast in PSP, or is it hopeless?

[fallingeese]

Essentially...yes. Tweak it so that it isn't quite so blatantly bright.

Will, I saved the shot and messed around with it...but was unable to come up with any acceptable results...maybe you'll do better with the original...
You using PSP too?

Yup.

I did give it another try. I think I improved it. Oh well, I'll just see what the screener thinks.

Will, watch the Neat Image too...the edges on that 727 are really soft. Do you run NeatImage on the original or after you process?

I do it after I process.
Is that what I'm supposed to do?

I do it before as it can occasionally make the edges look soft, which i can then fix while doing the rest of the editing.

Will, everytime I use NeatImage, I use it on the original FIRST, then process. That way, you can resize sharpen, etc and not have NeatImage control the final output.

Ah....maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.

I'll try it on my next batch of photos.

I don't even use neat image or any of that stuff. Seems like that pic was taken on a nice clear day, use ISO 100 and you shouldn't have problems with noise.

Generally I don't need it, but on shots over 200ISO or in harsh conditions, sometimes it helps. It does wonders for point and shoot images though!
