Majky737 - Editing Advice

[dlowwa]

Hi,

First of all, I want to apologize for using one photo from my queue in following question, but I don't know how to show point of my question without it. So, when I have photo on queue and I hit "check for dustspots" button, I get image like this:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]25275[/ATTACH]

In red circle, I see some unusual objects. As I am not sure if this is jpeg compression, I open image again in PS, but here I don't see these objects:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]25276[/ATTACH]

So question which I wanted to ask is:
Which equalized version should I believe more? PS one or JP one? I think, there is nothing wrong on unequalized version as well on PS one. In the past, somebody wrote on this forum that JP equalizer is stronger then PS Equalize function - is this information correct?

Yeah, just looks like compression. Without seeing the actual image in question, can't say whether it would be an issue when screened.

Meanwhile, I have received reject:

https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7331502

I reworked this one using curves (weather was not the best but I still think there was enought light to tune this photo), I will be happy if you can say your feedback (especially contrast issues).

Still very likely a contrast rejection.

Couldn't tell you for certain then. Usually that kind of compression is a result of a filter (especially NR) being applied. Maybe you didn't apply a specific filter, but there was NR done in camera or when converting from RAW?

So I made some investigation and looks like it was there right on output file from camera. I don't know, maybe some filter was applied, I just don't remember if I changed any settings. However, compression is on all pictures of that two planes, so they are lost. Pity, but thank you for your help and time.

Negative. I don't use filters at all. I have one photo accepted from that batch, so it is hard to find the reason of compression for me. I did nothing special or different when taking photos as well on editing. I will try to check other images made that day, maybe some of them will be better.

Sky is fairly compressed. Did you use any NR filters?

Might be useful if we could actually see the two rejections in question.

Hi,

My last two rejects have reason "JPEG compression artifacts". Where is this compression on these images? Is there any way to fix them?

Hello,

I want to ask for prescreening of photo attached below.

Thank you.

Likely a color (too yellow), and possibly contrast as well, rejection.

Thank you.

I made one edit of different picture. Is it somehow better if you take sharpening and contrast in count?

Kind regards
Marian

Better. Would be acceptable for me.

[Majky737]

Both would still be soft (and probably contrast) rejections for me.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have received some rejects due Undersharpened/Soft. I have added some extra sharpening and looking for advice, if actual level of sharpeness is good enought or not. Photos are attached below.

Thank you for feedback.
