New Pre-Screening Thread - CREW reply only

Thanks dlowwa for your answer to my post!

Hi,

These are all a bit dark and lacking contrast, but should be relatively easy to fix - see the left side here for what to aim for:

Also, the first would be an obstruction rejection, and in the future, please post the photos here before submitting to the queue, as this is a pre-screening thread.

Hi dlowwa,

Can you tell me how you did that? When I make the photo lighter, the tail of the plane becomes so unbearably bright that it hurts my eyes. Which tool did you use (in Photoshop)?

Thanks,

Hinkelbein

A bit soft and dark, but might be salvageable.

Hello!

Just a quick question: is the use of graduated filter allowed or is it considered digital manipulation? Thanks! Lorenzo

[TomEPKK]

Your attachments are not working, but using ANY filters are not allowed and will be considered as manipulation.

[pdeboer]

There's a very slight blue tint on the first two, but I'd accept all three if you submitted them as they are.

Hi dlowwa,

I've been fooling around a bit with Brightness/Contrast a little. Question: do you apply this step to adjust the Luminosity diagram, or do you adjust the Luminosity diagram first (with help of the Histogram) and afterwards apply Brightness/Contrast?

[brianw999]

Adjust the histogram graph and then use brightness/contrast if needed. You may however need to adjust the midtones of the graph rather than brightness.

Would this be acceptable?.....Thank you.
