dermeister - Prescreening advice

[dermeister]

Hello, need some guidance about halo's. First of both photo's were rejected due to editing halo's.
I have difficulties spotting them and correcting them.
I think it's about the black & white lines at the edges of the aircraft

I tried to use the method from the Youtube video linked in the tips & tricks, but I'm not quite sure if this helps to remove.
The second picture is with the corrections.

Please advice if this would be sufficient, or if the halo's are somewhere els. And how could I prevent them in the future.

Kind Regards

No, editing halos have nothing to do with sharpening in this case (or most cases, really). The halos here refer to where the sky is much darker around certain areas of the aircraft than others. These are mostly caused by in-camera or post-processing editing effects, namely D-Lighting, Clarity, De-haze, Shadow/Highlight, etc.. Almost certainly the halos are being caused by one of those, so if you want to avoid halos, you first need to figure out which exactly of those is causing them in the first place.

Hi, thanks for the response.
Ok, I'll try first to adjust the things I can do for the moment with the already taken photo's and try to limit clarity & dehaze at first.
Is there any way I can spot the halos in an easy way, so I can take all the actions possible to try to limit them before uploading?
I can spot the basic "mistakes", but my eye is not trained enough to see these halos yet

True, those of us looking at 400-500 images a day are more attuned to spot this kind of thing (I can see really bad halos from a thumbnail even); I suggest that whatever you do to check for dust spots, use the same technique to check for halos. They will usually both show up in the same way.

Hello,

I need some advice.
Yesterday I got several rejects due to - Over Processed / Bad postprocessing .
I noticed the last months I got that message more & more.

My editing workflow is already a long time more or less the same, so I'm wondering where the problem is.
Is it sharpness, highlights / shadows?
Today with the same workflow I had 7 ones accepted.

Could someone from the team have a look at those rejected below, and tell me on what to focus.
I'll try to focus more on the problem during edit workflow then.

Editing halos are visible around the aircraft where there is only sky in the background.

Thanks for the feedback.

Are these better? For these I didn't use highlight / shadows anymore in LR.

Are there other things to watch out for to reduce them?

Small halos on LH tail, otherwise they look ok.

Shadow/highlights adjustment is usually the main culprit, but clarity/vibrance/dehaze/etc.. can all also cause halo effects, especially when the background is sky.

Good evening,

Could I have some pre screening advice on these?
Weather conditions were quite hot, so I'm little bit affraid that the heat will show.

No heat haze, but all borderline soft, (ok for me). Some compression visible in the sky. Last one needs a tighter crop.

Hello,

Could I have some pre screening advice on following?
Did add a little bit of sharpness and reduced denoise, to try to reduce the compression which was visible in the sky in previous 5.

Hello, good evening,

Could I have some advice about the 2 pictures below please

about the fist one: wanted to give the effect with the dust which is kicking up due to the heli blades, however of course this leads to an equalized pictures with a lot of spots on it, will this then be acceptable or not?

Flying grass (in the air) is not a reason for rejection. Quality not really there for 1920pix however. Maybe better to try 1280.

I tried something, but I guess it will be more for the personal collection than for an upload?
