Majky737 - Editing Advice

Dana - a question - I am guessing from raw/dng to 16-bit TIFF right?

Yes, RAW -> 16-bit TIFF -> editing -> downsizing (usually 1600pix for me) -> convert to 8-bit -> save as jpeg -> upload.

As I said, a bit cumbersome, so only done on certain images. Otherwise, much simpler RAW -> 8-bit jpeg -> editing -> downsize -> upload.

It's the 16-bit vs. 8-bit that makes the difference.

https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10676481 -> subtle shift in brightness in the sky, so started with a 16-bit TIFF

https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/10652851 -> uniform color/brightness in sky, so straight to jpeg

Hello,

thank you all for explanation and discussion. Unfortunately, rejected photos were shot direct to jpg, so I guess nothing I can do with them. I have made one more edit of ATR attached below, but I expect it is not better as rejected one.



Thank you.

There is some blotchiness/compression visible, yes.

Hi,

I have received this reject for Noise/grain:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=10472541

In what areas of photo is noise visible? Will selective noise reduction help in this case?

Borderline for me, but enough for a rejection for the two screeners who screened it. Not much chance of a successful appeal.

I think that it is ok, as intentions of this question were to find noise areas, reprocess and queue again.

However, I think problem was related to sky area, so I have applied some more noise reduction filter there. Can you prescreen new edit attached below?

Thank you.

Sorry, I think I meant to post that reply in a different thread..though I think it mostly applies here. Wouldn't have been a rejection for me, but I can kind of see why it might have been for someone else. Newer version slightly soft, but also ok for me.

Hello screeners,

today I have received photo reject due undersharpened and noise HERE

I have added some extra sharpening and some noise reduction as well. Can you give me hint if there is any improvement visible on new edit and if it is maybe acceptable as - is now?

Thank you for your time.

Still lots of soft areas. Not sure the quality is there to make this workable.

Hello,

I have received this reject:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=11025098

I made another edit of another image from same photos batch hoping to resolve compression issue.

Is the new edit acceptable in therms of compression, colors and contrast?

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards
Marian

Rejected (and new) image was fine for me in terms of color, but both show some heat haze.

Hello jetPhotos crew,

can you help me to determine if attached photo should be rejected for backlit or not? I am somehow unable to say if tail is on it's own shadow or not.

Thank you for your comments.

Close, but not quite backlit.

[Majky737]

Close, but not quite backlit.

Thank you. In your opinion, does it have chance to be accepted as is or are there any issues to fix I should focus on?
