Merijn - Prescreening request

[Merijn]

Doubt it, quality/light is quite poor.

Ok thanks

Hello Crew or other members,

Is this one that could be saved for upload? What I tried so far:

- Sharpen the image (as it would be rejected for softness)
- Get rid of the chromatic aberration

Many thanks in advance, to give me an example of what would be the best possible result for either upload (if possible) or personal collection.

Second attempt, this one was slightly sharper from the beginning…

Quality a bit better, but would still be rejected for soft, and especially contrast.

Hello,

What about this one?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]27134[/ATTACH]

Many thanks!

Would be a soft/blurry and contrast rejection. Quality is quite poor, unfortunately.

Hello,

What about this one?



Many thanks!

[dlowwa]

I was afraid so, I think this is about the maximum

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24057[/ATTACH]

Would be rejected for blurry/oversharpened, contrast, color.

Hello,

Could I do something to improve this one?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24051[/ATTACH]

Don't think so, there are too many issues (softness, contrast, color)

Hello,

Could I do something to improve this one?

Hello dlowwa, thank you again.

Fortunatelly, there are people like you, willing to help others to improve theirself!

I started over with the first photo. Is it a bit better now or still to soft? I've still room for improvements in Lightroom if needed so.

Better, but still a touch soft imho. Also needs to be in sRGB color profile. Uploaded with the Display P3 profile as it is now will result in a rejection for color.

[Alex - Spot-This !]

It looks way better now, acceptable for me

cheers

Hello dlowwa,

Thank you for your advice. The compression I can manage by starting with the RAW version again.

However softness, could this still be managed you think?

Hard to tell without seeing the original.

And just to compare, is this also soft?

Yes, very soft.
