YanS - Editing Advice

Hi again,

A feedback on these two would be nice .
I'm not sure about contrast on both as the light was pretty difficult that day in Stockholm...

Indeed borderline contrast for both, and first might need a little CW rotation as well.

Hi everyone,

Thank you, Alex for your fast answer
Yes, I seem to have an issue with compressed sky in pictures with much visible sky in the background. As I always save my pictures at the highest possible quality I don‘t know what is causing this at the moment but I will work on that for sure.
Are there chances of acceptance for 1 and 2 (As compression is especially noticable in #3)?

Thanks for your thoughts,
All the best,

If you are are getting excessive compression (banding in the sky) even though saving at full quality, try converting to a 16-bit tiff from raw before saving as a jpeg. Since 16-bit tiffs have a lot less compression than jpegs, images where that kind of compression is more visible (especially with fine gradients in the sky) will look better if all editing is done in the less-compressed format than if you did it all with an 8-bit jpeg.

They look ok... except about the compressed sky. Specially noticeable on the 737 with visible pixels.

Hi everyone,

Thanks LX-A343 for your helpful feedback .

I tried to correct the TUI-issues. I think it's slightly better now but I don't know if it's enough. A feedback would be great.

This Piper would be new to the database but I'm not sure about the horizon.

1: soft, slightly leaning to the right (using verticals as reference)
2: slightly soft, noisy background, verticals seem slightly leaning to the right.

Hi everyone,

Today these pictures were rejected for being backlit:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7158226

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7158222

The first one is borderline for me too but as pretty much of the fuselage is lit and as it was OK in pre-screening (which is no guarantee of course) it would be discussable in my eyes.

The second one looks ok in terms of light in my opinion.

But of course these are only personal views so I ask here if one of them (or both) would be worth an appeal.

Thanks for your help,
Best regards
Yannick

I agree the first is borderline backlit, and while I personally disagree whether it's bad enough to be a rejection, I will leave it be. The second is clearly not, and I have accepted it into the DB.
