Any way to rescue or simply foget it?

As title says, is there something which can be done or does this pic stay as a purple dream in my collection?

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1263626

Reason(s) For Rejection:
- Undersharpened (Soft)
- Too much noise or grain
- Bad Color (Over/Under Saturation, Hue)
- Bad quality

Thanks for your hints and forgive me opening a thread instead of joing the big one, but with my slow 56k modem it's hard for me to read a thread with more than 5 answers.

If you can post the original somewhere, I can have a look at it this afternoon. I don't see it hopeless.

Dam! what the hell happend there. Looks like the pink fairy got into your camera my friend

You will be able to claw back the colour tint by adjusting the RGB colours in Photoshop levels. As for the grain. Well panned for 1/15 sec.

Was the sky like that at the time of the shot?

I have seen many a pink sky like that, why should it not be the natural colour?

[BA747-436]

Somehow i doubt it lol.

[DRS-Spotter]

Yes, the sky was like that when I took the pic. The original has 2,07MB. Any place on the web where I can host it?

That's a good one.

I'd like to know what the screeners would do about this kind of shots.

It got the purple/pink over the whole fuselage. Would that stuff get this photo rejected ?

Hi Georg,

I hope you don't mind, but I tried a quick edit on your pic. All I did was Auto Levels and reduce the amount of saturation. While the aircraft becomes more white the sky and background seems to lose a bit.

EDIT: second attempt using the photo on Imageshack instead of the rejected photo.

I adjusted the white balance, reduced noise a bit, applied some selective sharpening to avoid more noise mainly in the sky and here is, what I got:



The main difference is, that the fuselage is less purple than on your photo.

I had a go myself and this is what I came up with. Levels, NeatImage and selective sharpening..... (and then murdered it with over compression.)



Your panning was good but this photo is one for your personal album. Even ignoring the compression on my rendition there is no detail around the cockpit area and tail and the noise on the forward fuselage is bad. Not to mention the highlights around the landing light being blown.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm at work and forgot the original. I'll look at your pics when I'm home tomorrow. Maybe I give the pic a second chance maybe I'm leaving it on my HDD.

Thanks for the help again.

I have to say im not keen on the hue over the photo. Whether its natural or not it looks screwed up to be honest. Sorry to be blunt.
