NEW Editing advice thread

I have this photo here and I am not wanting to lose the shot of the moon which I personally say is the star of the picture. Is there a way to get rid of the errors I had?

You have to check your workflow (search the forum for a proper workflow) and edit from scratch! Adjust the levels, exposure and tone curve to get a proper contrast.

Only touch "Highlights" and "Shadows" when the contrast is still to harsh or to low. Because your image is underexposed and has dark "highlights".

Now, I just redid the photo and removed those extra things I had done to it before. Is this any better or still needs some work?

the photo is still dark and soft. As I can see, the original photo is slightly blurry, which will make it difficult to adjust.

Well, i would say some aspects are better than before but ... it still needs some work i think. As LX-A343 Said it still dark and some parts of it are blurry especially the tail and the Reg Number might be suffered from heat wave which comes from the engines.

The reason has given. The problem is the halo around the aircraft especially above the aircraft.

There was no reason given...what can I do about the halo? You can only see it when you equalize the picture

Well, i suggest you to re-edit it again and pay attention to highlight and shadow function if you use them do not use too much or it will appear halo i think. Yes, this is not very serious actually so we cannot see obvious halo without using equalize. But as we know that screener will check each photo carefully so we should edit them and check them carefully.

Soft?

Dear friends,

Is it really soft?

I see it as sharp enough, adding of sharpening will cause to oversharpened.

Kind regards,
Erez.

Thanks Harry, I'll try to sharpen a little.

Thanks Harry, I'll try to sharpen a little.

You're welcome. Just need to pay attention to the jaggy.

[ErezS]

You're welcome. Just need to pay attention to the jaggy.

Thanks, but this is exactly the problem after adding sharpness. The jaggies.

Thanks, but this is exactly the problem after adding sharpness. The jaggies.

Do you know how to use eraser to erase the jaggy after sharpening? I think it is a good way to avoid jaggys.
