Siddarth - Editing Advice

Hi,

Can I get some help with these rejects:

1. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6270108. Since the tail and rear of the aircraft is in the shadow of the hangar, the aircraft is not uniformly exposed.

Indeed, and a such, might not be fixable.

2. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6270125. I thought since the faces were not clearly identifiable, so this would be ok. In addition, I downsized to 1200px for this purpose. But I am worried about 'Digital Manipulation'. Does it mean I modified something in the pic? The only workflow I employed was 'Horizon Level -> Crop -> Levels -> Resize to 1200px -> Select Edges -> USM 50, 0.5 about 12 times'.

I checked the log; screener left remarks that the dark shading at the top looked like it might have been the result of a digital filter applied in post. Can't say that I necessarily agree, but that's evidently what the manipulation rejection was for. Motive is ok for me; as you said, faces aren't really identifiable.

3. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6260821. Any suggestions if this can be fixed. All my 6 Blue Angel pics were rejected with more or less the same reason.

Color (yellow/green cast) might be fixable by adjusting the white balance, but the poor light (almost looks backlit) would be much more difficult to address.

1. quality is not there for 1920, but might be ok at 1280 or less.
2. contrast is too low.

Thank you Dana.

Hi,

Are these two pics suitable for JP database:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]12249[/ATTACH]

The smoke in the background is from explosions to simulate the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Have a nice weekend.

Hi,

This pic was rejected due to a yellow tinge - https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6231697

Have re-processed again with a different WB. Is this ok to upload?

Have a horizon rejection on this one - https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6209737

I had used the window panes as reference.

#1: colours look better, but the photo now lacks contrast, mainly shadows
#2: the windows are slightly leaning to the left. Try this trick:
- open the photo in your browser
- zoom into an area with know vertical lines, preferably edges of buildings (that way you can focus only on that area)
- press the right mouse button on an edge and check the context menu with the vertical line on your photo
- or: open a new window and use the edge of that new window

Hi,

Did I make a mistake in this upload? Remember selecting Genre as 'Civilian' and 'Night Shot' category, but I could be wrong - https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6209782

Any help on this?

Aircraft is too low, and you've cut off the nose probe.


1. contrast, color
2. contrast, color
3. motive (identifiable faces). personally I think it's also a terrible crop, though it is technically acceptable, so if you have one without people, you could try that.

Thanks Dana. Have re-uploaded the F-16 with a better composition. Will try to fix 1 and 2. 3 goes to personal collection.

Hi,

Editing advice:
Can I get some help on this reject. I had centered it factoring the canopy and engine intake. Also it is a very tight crop - https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=6207632

Try to optimize the contrast a bit.
