  • crkscrew13 - Editing advice

    Hey all. Lurked the site for a long time before joining the forums, only have a few in the database so far and trying to add more.

    Today, I had the Qatar Amiri Flight one rejected for contrast (which I have since adjusted, the uploaded one represents the adjustment) and Dirty scan / CMOS dust spots, the latter of which has baffled me. I've gone over this picture in Lightroom with a fine tooth comb using Spot Removal -> Visualize Spots and cannot find any issues.

    Plus, I added Frontier one that's not in the queue yet, just curious as to whether it's up to standards.

    Also looks a bit yellow, but I'll leave it up to you whether you want to adjust that.

    F9 also has some faint dust spots, but should otherwise be ok.

      Thanks so much. I realize now Lightroom is good for some dust spots, not for others, but I ran them through Photoshop and I'm pretty sure I knocked out the rest.

      Any thoughts about this one?

        Don't see any major issues.

          Here's a couple slightly older ones, any thoughts on either one?

            Some dust spots and editing halos, but otherwise quality looks ok.

              Thanks for the advice! I'm not used to hunting for dust spots in my workflow since I usually only save pictures for myself, so it's taking some getting used to.

              Here's one I dug up and tinkered with from a couple years ago, any thoughts? I was careful to try and eliminate spots and adjust color (my original pass on it had terrible contrast).

                    Would be rejected for overprocessed due to all the editing halos.

                      Thoughts on this one? Not sure if I was able to improve this one enough to be acceptable.

                        The photo appear to lack some contrast (because of the poor light) and it`s a bit dark. Also there is a little cyan cast in the image.

                        Better wait some comments from the crew.

                        Cheers,

                        Vinicius

                          Borderline for contrast and oversharpening, but may be acceptable as is. Color is fine.

                            Thank you, that's better than I thought I did. I'm a terrible judge of my own work sometimes, hence posting here. I'll fiddle with that one a bit more.

                            Here's one I've been toying with for a while. I've sharpened it about as much as I think is possible without overdoing it. Plus I've had trouble getting the levels and contrast just right.

                            Thoughts?

                              Contrast & sharpening ok; some heat haze it looks like, and not sure what you've done to the sky, but looks like bad editing.
