NEW Editing advice thread

Looks like a bug. According to the screeners comments, the airline was empty. An occasional server hiccup, I suppose

I added the shot.

Hey LX-A343. I also have a similar problem with one photo: https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6098942

If you check in the JP Search, there is both Civilian and Military (but the correct one is Civilian as I checked) and just before the upload and check there is no missing/wrong categories...Really don't know what happen . Just need to know what I did wrong if this really happens.

These two rejections are für "undersharpened", ignore the "overexposed" at the Kuwait, i agree with this.

I looked at this pictures in full size and can see every detail clearly. Sure, i have no lens for 2500 bucks, but i got many pictures accepted in this quality, thats why i upload only in 1200px.
Do you think i should risk a appeal on the Air China or shapen it more?

Both photos are way too soft to risk an appeal. Maybe you can fix it, if the original is sharp enough

Hello! I'd posted these in the pre-screening forum and was told that the BA 744 appeared backlit and the Thai 777 was too dark. Any suggestions for improvement, if there are any possible? I had tried to raise exposure on the 777 last time but the top then seemed overexposed. Thank you very much!

Considering uploading this to illustrate the spotting location, would the aircraft be too small?


This one is a jet2 departing at night. I had a look at the db for any similar and found one james rowson took at the same location which included the aircraft turning creating a very similar effect which I liked.


Cheers Tony

Both are somewhat dark. Given the (poor) light, I'm not sure there is much you can do to improve them.

It is suitable for Spotting Location.

You can upload it as Airport Overview - Runway, though I can't guarantee the motive will be acceptable.

Looks a little soft, and dust spot above the tail.

[kiwikieran]

Hi all any thoughts on this? Also can any one recommend a good way to find dust spots with out uploading first please.

Thanks in Advanced.

Looks OK here. Easiest way to find dust spots is to equalize the photo in your photo editing software.

Honestly, it would probably be better if you were able to figure it out on your own, as you're not going to have someone there to tell you for every single photo you edit. The easiest thing to do is use an editing tool like the crop or rectangular marquee tool in PS (ones that create perfectly horizontal lines), and use it to 'measure' the horizon. Play around with different adjustments until you find one that is right. It took me 10-15 seconds of playing around with your photo to see it needs in the neighborhood of 1.5 degrees ccw.

Is it now finally better also with colour and brightness? Will it has a chance for being accepted?



EDIT:
What do you say to this Cockpitshot? I know the outside is to bright, but that's normal if sun is outside

Looks borderline for contrast.

Both pictures? So a little less contrast?

The first one is blurry. The cockpit shot is a classic example of where you should have exposed for the outside and used fill flash to expose the cockpit. Like this ....

Hi,
Anyone who can help with the framing of this one?

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6103338

Thanks in advance!

The fin up at the top is correct in this case. General rule of thumb is to centre through the middle of the fuselage as much as possible without chopping off the fin as you have done..The centreing rejection is due to there being more space on the right side than the left.
The second image example given by Julian is stretched in the vertical plane and has lost its correct aspect ratio.

Hi! I did not understand this rejection I got:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6098942

Reason(s) For Rejection:
- Categories wrong or missing
- Bad Info in the following field(s): Genre

I've already appeal and got reject again but did not get any comments to correct. I've put a text clarifying the points of rejection.

This registration has both Military and Civilian genres in the website (search), but the correct one is only Civilian. Just need to know what I did wrong to not do the same mistake again.

Many thanks.

The registration is listed in http://www.scramble.nl/military-database as being military. It requires business jet category as it is not part of an airline.
