wkd001- Editing advice

1. crop ok, but much too soft
2. also too soft
3. also soft. borderline (but acceptable for me) contrast

Thanks a lot Dana, Maybe I'll try to rework the third one. Won't persist with the other two as their originals lacked the quality after double check.

Now I would like pre-screen/advice on three new ones.

I'm unsure about at least the contrast and the color (sky too blue??) Entire aircraft was not included on the original and the aircraft was a little waving due to strong winds.

Unsure about the contrast,sharpness and exposure. Note, it was 1,5hrs after sunrise and sun on front of the aircraft.

Unsure about the sharpness here and maybe the crop. Also on this one, the entire aircraft was not included on the original.

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards.

Maybe a bit soft on 1 and 3, but would be ok for me. Not easy to crop the 380 tightly, but I think you've done the best you can with the angle.

Light on the nose, so contrast is difficult. Unsure about color and contrast (personally I think it;s not working on contrast).


This came in on this angle (serious) Unsure about sharpness, contrast, centering and compression.

Unsure about centering, sharpness and contrast.

Thanks in advance.

Now I would like pre-screen/advice on these ones.

1. Yes, poor angle for the light. Likely dark/contrast rejection.
2. A bit soft, but otherwise ok
3. Similar to first, but enough of aircraft is well lit that it should have a better chance.

Thanks a lot Dana, Maybe I try 2 and 3.

I have two questions at the moment.

At first I've received this reject yesterday for dark/underexposed. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8180368
It doesn't seem that under exposed to me, but I have to agree the shadows are pretty dark.
The sun reflecting on the nose,makes it also diffcult for me to expose it properly.
Is there a reliable solution for angles like this?,because I don't exactly know what to do with it.

At second I have a prescreen request for two photos.

Especially contrast and maybe sharpness are my biggest worries here. Conditions were though, gloomy light and reflections. Later on the sun left....

Especially the crop (the entire aircraft was not included in the original file) and heathaze are my biggest worries here. Maybe sharpness and contrast will also come into play.

Thanks in Advance.

Check the histogram. Big gap on right.

Yes, borderline contrast. Also soft in spots.

Crop ok, but quite soft.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my question,
I found the gap on the right side of the histogram.
Problem for me is the sun reflecting in the nose, which leads to a highlight warning in the histogram of my lightroom.
But maybe I should ignore that in the future.
So I bring now a re-edit of this sot with increased exposure,
I'm curious if it's good know, or if I still have to change things. Also to learn for myself in cases like these

Thanks in advance

Exposure looks acceptable to me.

Thanks Dana, I've queued it.

I have two questions at the moment

First of all of this reject. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=8206198. I've found the dust spot, but I'm unsure if i fixed it properly in the attached re-edit.
As it only appeared in my pre-final edit and i rmoved it working into the final edit here.



At second i would like a prescreen on these two photos.


A very early morning shot about half an hour after sunrise. Sun head on the aircraft, but pretty heavy crop, So no idea if it has any chance, An extra view would be appreciated.


Not great contrast I know, but just exactly in sunset. Extra eye on the sharpening would also be appreciated,although I could of course always re-edit on a smaller size.

Thanks in advance.

1. ok
2. borderline contrast
3. dark

3. dark

Thanks a lot Dana, I've only queued the first thus far and the third can serve other targets.

Now i would like a prescreen on the following photos

Is this one too backlit/dark/ bad contrast??

Again not the entire aicraft on the original as it took off far quicker as I expected. So again, is this crop OK? Is the crop too tight on the wing? Entire wing is included.

Same story as second. But here also unsure on softness especially around the nosegear.

Thanks in Advance.

Best Regards.

Now i would like a prescreen on the following photos

1. yes, likely a contrast rejection
2. nothing technically wrong with the crop, but personally don't find it too aesthetically pleasing
3. yes soft (whole aircraft), and also a bit noisy

Thanks a lot Dana, I've tried my luck with the second.

Now I would like a prescreen om some old stuff.

These are all old images without RAW-files. I've tried to sort the most things out. However If there are issues with contrast, centering ,sharpness , horizon and compression. i would like to know. Even more important for me if they could be fixable, because I have only JPEG-from these.

Thanks in advance.

1. dark, overprocessed
2. contrast, overprocessed
3. centering, overprocessed, dirty
4. borderline soft
5. soft, contrast

If the halos are present on the original jpegs of the first three, that is not fixable.

OK thanks a lot Dana,
Maybe I''ll only try the fourth one once.

Now I would like a prescreen on only this photo. I'm (again) struggling with the contrast and exposure on this one. Is there something fixable to get out of this, as the sun is almost on the nose of the aircraft.
Rest should be OK I guess, unless I missed something by accident of course.

Thanks in advance.
