Correct. Possible the original file lacks enough info for the jpg to render smoothly.

Hi john,
I am not a screener. On #2 there are "artifacts" still visible in the bottom, like small "blocks" in the gradient from lighter to darker tones. They are quite visible when zoomed in. Try a different method for saving the jpg. I hope his helps.

This happened all the time when I shot JPEG back in the day so it could be that the photo is doomed to begin with

+1 I can only agree there.

Thanks a lot Alex.

I'm not sure what it means with the 'compressed sky'. ButI tried a new version with less adjustments (brightness, and a bit of contrast and sharpening).

Thanks in adwance for further feedback.

Dear JP Crew
Again I would ask you for help for the following pictures: They are photographed jst after sunset. Presonally I realy like the colors, they were incredible.

What do I have to do to get that accepted? As nightshot shoud be ok, or what have to be done.

All the best, John.

1) dark tonnes are a bit underexposed.

2) Sky is very compressed

Regards
Alex

Thanks a lot dlowwa.

As I understod I did a few adjustments and also 1920.
Any chance? Personally Iike the snowstorm and quite proud that I was able to catch under that (almost) impsssible situation that special. That's why I ask for advice.

0% chance at this resolution. Soft/blurry and some noise (not snow).

Dear JP comunity
Want you to ask for following picture: It was taken during heavy snowfall (visible in the lights for the fine). The Iso was at 160, but due to the snow looks like heavy noise.
Ismthat acceptable? The plane stands for some minutes, so the pictuer was taken with low ISO and long expouser.

Thanks in advance for feedback. John

Softness/contrast/poor light would just as big issues, if not bigger than the apparent 'noise'.

Thanks a lot for your help and ffedback.

What about following?

Thanks in advance for your answer. All the best, john.

Borderline soft. Processing and noise seem to be under control.

Dear Forum

I'm a bit out of ideas: I got for following picture rejection: due to Over Processed / Bad postprocessing and Too much noise or grain

What I do not understand is what I did wrong: I shoot all the time with iso 100, and I do only a minor adjustments in lightroom. Brightness (+0.85), contrast +4, and sharpening. I do not understand the noise and what is overprocessed.

Thanks for any hint.

Editing halos, and lots of noise in the shadows (probably from whatever caused the halos). Also soft imho.
