Pre Screening Request - Ariadne Barroso

[dlowwa]

Yes. But I'm in doubt between these two photos, which one would be the best to work on and upload. Personally, I prefer the second which appears aircraft registration, trees and more stuff as background.

I am concerned with the contrast problem and any other type of problem that may arise due to the cloudy weather.

Yes, contrast is definitely an issue.

Hi! I need some help here.

Can both photos be rejected due to low contrast or anything else?

Same aircraft?

Hm... I'll do my best at LR and PS, avoiding over processing. And let's see how it utns!
Thanks again for your help!

Something like this?

(I'm concerned about the dust spots and maybe some noise here. If I'm in the right way, then I'll remove those things later.)

To be honest, I really don't remember if there was a cloud blocking the sun. I have a lot of photos of this aircraft in the same day and moment - some has better light but has a lot of heat haze. But I remember that I made a mistake when measuring the light!

Definitely better, though probably still a bit too dark.

Horizon I think should be ok, but dark/contrast might not be fixable due to the cloud blocking the sun. You could try brightening it, which should fix the dark part, but not sure how the contrast would be.

Hi!
I'm struggling a bit here: horizon and contrast.
Passable or need some improvement?

Hello!
It was rejected due overexposed and alightley horizon unlevel.
Made some correction in exposure (it was slightly overexposed) and horizon alignment (slighltly counterclockwise rotation). This is the final result.
Any chances of aproval?

P.S.: This photo is not queued.

Horizon looks ok to me, but editing halos are visible, and the right side is noticeably soft.

Hi!

This one was reject due Dark / Underexposed,Bad Color (Over/Under Saturation, Hue) and Too much or too little contrast: https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7885903. And I'm totally agree with the rejection - I was editing on my notebook and I didn't pay much attention.

In the attachment, a new version. Maybe the ovecast would be a problem, the sky was too bright. Yay or nay?

Still very likely a contrast rejection. You are correct, the overcast conditions mean it may not be possible for this one to be 'fixed'.

By the way I've just done the new processing work in that TAP A330 NEO and also in Alitalia B772 - see the attachmentes. Both were photographed on the same day and in the same horrible hazy weather.

Tried my best to improve midtones. If it is not good, then I will leave it aside.

Both likely rejections for contrast and possibly noise as well.

[ariadne]

Thanks again dlowwa! Your kindness and patience to deal with my doubt is precious, as well as some comments left by the screeners in the rejections.

Contrast is too low. This might be fixable.

Yeah, might be fixable. But my concern is when fixing low and midtones end up falling in bad/over processing - I know that sometimes I am a heavy hand in post processing. It's been a bit trick for me handle with overcast stuff at SBGR!
