Casa 235’s were produced primarily as cargo aircraft which I would think is the required category.

Hi folks, got a few rejections from my recent LHR visit, mostly for sharpness. I attach one of these and maybe someone in the crew could advise the appropriate level of sharpness to make this acceptable.

That's actually not too far off the mark. Maybe another pass or two of USM but you'd have to make sure the blue cheat line on the livery doesn't become over-sharp (sharpen on layer then erase the jaggies). I'm sensing some slight heat distortion also which might lead to softness issues. It's that time of year unfortunately aready.Comment

Just processing some photos from a recent photo mission and I am just wondering what is (a) the best and (b) the most acceptable method of dealing with shadows, using photoshop.
I am noticing that on some of my photos, taken from, say, 4.30 on, there's a noticeable shadow at the front of the some of the aircraft, which gets more noticeable as the sun moves around to the west. By using the "shadow/highlights" tab under "adjustments, I can remove shadows, but it looks like the use of this immediately gives a photo a brighter tint and I am concerned that this might be acceptable, although when I process photos, they come out pretty well, with the shadows fully removed.
So, I guess my question would be: is the use of the shadow/highlights tab acceptable and if not, what is the preferred alternative for dealing with shadows?
Many thanksComment

It is acceptable as it is an editing technique, but it needs to be used with extreme care as it is one of the key causes to creating the dreaded editing halos around the aircraft. I use it mainly with RAW images in Adobe Camera Raw rather than in Photoshop itself. ACR is far kinder but halos easily pop up. Using Shadow/highlights with in PS itself is an extremely fine line. It can cause halos with the tiniest amount of use.
So, basically, yep fine to use but take care to not make it look unnatural or create editing halos.Comment

This is one of several that were rejected for "bad/over post-processing"; I don't understand this, because all of my photos are processed the same way and every so often they pick on one for this reason. I'd like to understand what the issue is. I have a few more for this issue, but I would like to know why this issue is arising more regularly as the sole reason for rejection.Comment

Here's the link to it, apologies!Comment

Sorry, I can't post a link to the rejected photo from my list, but here is the photo below anyway.Comment

There is faint banding visible in the sky in all/most of your images. This could be a result of processing or how you are saving/compressing your files. WIthout knowing all of the steps in your process, I couldn't speculate as to the exact cause.Originally posted by akerosid View Post

Also, as I asked previously, it would be appreciated if you could post any future questions in the same thread, else I need to spend time tracking them all down and merging them.Comment

Hi, this was one of two rejected for contrast, with a screener's comment saying that there was a lack of dark tones. How can I deal with this?Comment

Hello everyone,
I have had this one rejected for backlighting. I think there is scope to correct that, but my attempts so far have looked quite unnatural - the proverbial sledgehammer to crack a nut.
What corrections would you recommend to address the backlighting issue?
This is a brand new aircraft, first in the database (if I can get it accepted!), so I would really would like to get it submitted and accepted.

Hello. Unfortunately backlit is a rejection that is unfixable. Simply the sun is on the wrong side, or rather, not lighting the side of the aircraft us viewers are seeing in your image. It is clear the sun is facing the nose of the aircraft, and I would assume - if my geography is right - the sun will eventually move behind the photographer (you) and therefore fully light up the aircraft. if you go to the guidelines here: https://www.jetphotos.com/uploadguidelines/ and go to 5.1 you can find examples similar to your photo and more info.
hope this helps.Comment
