    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

    Best solution I've found is to start with a 16-bit TIFF and do all my editing on that, downsize to 1600-1280 whatever, then save as a jpg.

    I want to ask for advice about these two rejects:

    JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!

    Is the problem in sky? Is it compression or somehow noise problem?
    Thank you.

    Compression/blotchiness in the sky. In my experience it has to do with how software deals with color/brightness gradients in the sky when compressing large resolution jpgs. It tends to make the areas where there are gradients look blotchy or blocky. Best solution I've found is to start with a 16-bit TIFF and do all my editing on that, downsize to 1600-1280 whatever, then save as a jpg. There is a noticeable difference in the sky when following that workflow, but it's a bit more tedious so I only do it for images where you see big changes in color/brightness in a clear sky.

    Same. I have been battling this issue in some of my photos. You have any advice other than requesting JP to accept PNGs? I did set the quality to 12 and don't know what I can do to make it better.

    Hello,

    few days ago we have discussed ramp photo from KEWR regarding horizont. I have submitted edited photo but have received reject due horizont again:

    JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!


    Now I don't know how to adjust horizont to finally resolve this issue. Any advice is more than welcome.

    Thank you

    Apparently a little CCW needed. I disagree, but so it goes

    today, I have received this reject due to JPEG compression in sky:

    I have took another picture and made a new edit. Can you prescreen new one and judge if it is somehow better or not?
    A bit better, though I think the problem might be noise rather than compression.

    What I normally do in these cases is using a building in the center of the photo and take the vertical references of that building. In your case, the hangar in the upper center of the photo. Nice shot btw.

    Thank you. I will give it a try. I apology again for taking your time, but I think I will not fix it without your help.

    Thank you. I think I found correct leveling. I have added only minimum angle to original image and when I compare all three edits, this one looks that it might be leveled well. I must admit, it is somehow hard to me to find correct leveling on this one, even there are many verticals as references.
    Don't see much difference between this one and rejected version
