Hi,
United is a tad soft. The issues I see with those shots is that if you carefully look at the sky you can clearly see small dots which are actually pixels and are a sign of some compression applied to the sky (most probably during editing). Normally, if nothing was compressed they should not appear

Kind Regards
Alex

Thanks Alex. Would that be from resizing the image I am guessing? I used the same process I have for past uploads and haven't had an issue. Is it a big enough issue for a rejection on these? Any tips on what method of resizing in Photoshop to use if that is the cause?

Thanks,
Jarvis

Resizing is clearly not the case but maybe some editing filter or noise reduction applied ? And unfortunately yes, the pixels are really too visible as they are now

[dlowwa]

Hmm ok. I did add some noise reduction to those which I normally don't do so maybe that caused it. I'll admit I am having trouble spotting what you are talking about. Does it just look like noise in the sky for those pixels?

I took another pass editing the American Airlines one from scratch. Tried to remove unnecessary editing in case something like that was causing. Only stuff done was exposure tweak, sharpening, saturation, and some brightness/contrast in photoshop. Then obviously cropping and scaling the picture down.

Are you still seeing the issue with this version?

Thanks for your help!

Dirty, and borderline soft.

[whatdjarvis]

Thanks.

Where are you seeing the dirt? This seems to be something I keep missing, any tips for how to find the dirt? I am not really seeing anything in lightroom when I visualize spots.

Thanks so much! For some reason I don't see it in lightroom but when I use the queue's check for dust it shows up so I will use that tool in the future.

Hi All,

A couple new shots I would like to have pre-screened:

Soft, dirty, borderline vignetting.

Hello again!

I took these two pictures of an An-124. I will only upload one to the queue as they are in the same place and same plane (assuming one of them is acceptable).

I am looking for some pre-screening help to see if one or both would be acceptable for the database.

Thank you so much for your time! Always appreciate the time dedicated for all the staff and users helping out here!

Backlit/low contrast.

Backlit/low contrast.

Thanks Dlowwa! Guessing the final two aren't fixable due to the backlit.

That is correct.

Hi everyone! Wondering if I can get these two prescreened. Thanks!

Both are very soft and have dust spots.
