    So I am confused about a recent upload I did for hot. Have the hot photo rules changed recently? I uploaded a photo of N294EA and labeled it hot for reasons of the first photo with the engines installed, completing the aircraft, and for the addition of the external retardant tank on the belly of the plane, this photo.
    JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!

    But this was rejected. Before this, I have gotten photos accepted with there being changes to physical aircraft for a hot reason. This photo below is an example.

    The only thing that changed between the photo I took and the one before it was the addition of winglets. I think that's a much smaller and less significant change than the engines being installed and an external retardant tank being installed. Was this acceptance for the Beechjet a mistake?
    Only permanent changes to equipment qualify as hot.

    How does this photo look? First time really trying out an aerobatic shot, so still working on getting the best settings and techniques.

    I queued this as hot as there is new writing on the nose gear door. The screener said that this was too small of a change. However, I also had a second photo of an F-35A that was accepted for the same reason, new writing on the nose gear door. So I am confused as to why one was accepted and one was not.
    Imho, neither should have qualified as hot. Is it vitally important that these minor changes appear on the DB 6-7 days earlier that waiting in the regular queue? It seems more like trying to take advantage of the system and using any insignificant change to skip the queue. In your case the first barely qualified, as it was new markings where there had previously been none, while the second is simply an update of the current markings which no one would have noticed unless they looked really closely.

    This one says the registration is wrong, however I am failing to see how N88394 is wrong. The only other thing I can think of would be NC88394, however the FAA database does not accept that as a valid registration.
    NC- is used in the DB. See all the other images using that format already accepted.

    In the future, no comments will be made on images you've already appealed.

    Thanks for sending the files. I can confirm after comparing the raw files to the ones you uploaded that the editing you did indeed changed the images significantly enough that I think an overprocessed rejection was an appropriate rejection reason. The skies in all of the images are darker and more saturated than the original files, while the rest of the frame is little changed. If you're using features like clarity, dehaze, or shadow/highlight to achieve this effect, I'd recommend avoiding their use with future uploads.

    Confused by these rejections. All 3 got rejected for over processed and bad color. I dont understand how the over processed rejection is valid as I dont see any signs of over processing. Plus the color looks fine on all the photos imo.

    Thanks in advanced.

    It appears a filter was used, either physically, or in post processing. The former is allowed, but the latter is not. If the former, you can contact me via DM to send an original copy to confirm, and I will have the images accepted. If the latter, please know such bad editing is not permitted.

    Oh, thanks. I should double check on all of these.

    May I make a suggestion, sense there is a lot of information and specific rules for uploading, pre screening, appealing, etc. Maybe when members join, then get an email with links to all these different forms. So they have all the information handed to them because I personally was unaware that a lot of these posts with rules existed. Think it would be good help for everyone and possibly bring down the number of posts/appeals that break the rules.

    Also, before any future appeals, please be sure to read here thoroughly, especially #8:

    Have a question about Photo Editing software (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc.), improving your photos, etc.? Our crew of Photo Screeners is here to help you out!

    Im curious about all of them actually. The photo was cropped this way to include the C-5 and the F-16 in the same photo, which I think is a very cool composition. Do I just need to make the C-5 as close to the top as I can or does the F-16 itself need to be centered?

    Second was the missing/wrong categories. Not sure what was missing from this one.

    And finally the invalid hot. I added the hot due to this being the first photo with the number 6 on this jet. Used to be TB1. Ive had other photos with small changes like that get accepted for hot.

    Thanks in advanced.
