Yousaf Editing Advice

thanks, sensor spots. I tried removing it in lightroom, but I couldn't spot many dust spots.

Hiya, as per the guide - you need to use photoshop (dust / crud) - (there are others which I dont use) . Sorry Lightroom doesn't cut it (. T

Sorry just realise when replied. Those settings in Lightroom are doing you no favours either.

I am planning to spend 4x my pay on laptop just for Lightroom, and jet photos don't accept photos edited in lightroom. No problem, I will follow the guide and use photoshop.

Coincidentally, photoshop for photographer beginner's guide was published only yesterday https://photographylife.com/photoshop-beginner-guide

[777MAN]

Yeah - loads of these around. My point was Stefan published this free one ages ago and it deals with the issue in a concise way.

Yousaf, my very talented and published colleague uses Lightroom to catalogue , edit and publish all his stuff. His is a wildlife photographer . The main issue with aviation is sky, where dust, blemishes, crud shows up and the guidelines of JP are very clear. Lightroom doesn't deal with this well, photoshop does. T

Would be rejected for contrast, soft, dirty, and maybe color. Images taken through windows will always be very difficult to get accepted. Unless there is something special for you about this one, maybe better to leave it.

Left it. another image another airport.

Likely to be rejected for contrast, glare/dirt, and motive/cut off. Not a very good crop.

Would be rejected for soft, contrast, and horizon.

Soft and Horizon are understandable. I can't seem to pick up the contrast, is it too low or high ?

Much too low. As I hinted at previously, this is a very typical problem with images taken through windows.

I use Lightroom for all my editing in jetphotos, and have never had a problem removing dust spots. Only thing I would say is that with Lightroom its sometimes is not easy to find the actual spots, however using the 'Check for Dust' button after uploading, ady dust spots seen there, you can go back to lightroom and remove them, and then re-upload. I personally find photo shop far too complicated.
