Im not a screener, indeed they are contrast problem. A little smokey (As my experience, similar images will not be prescreened by crew)

Hello, similar images will not be prescreened.

Yes sorry, so can i have a pre-screening only on the first one ?

Would be rejected for contrast, soft, noise, horizon.

Hello, may I get a pre-screening of those two please? I'm worried about the softness and the over exposition? As I think of my pics I am always borderline for the softness and still can't really tell if a pic is soft or no, and always worried to do an over-sharpened pic. Thank you for your help.

Exposure looks ok, but yes softness/sharpening may be an issue. You would benefit from submitting at a lower resolution.

Thank you for your answer I tried one with a higher sharpening and the other with a lower resolution so, are they any better?



Also few questions for you:

- For over exposition you can see when in the histogram the right side is climbing to the top right corner?

- For sharpening how do you see that? Because I assume it's with the magnify tool, but I don't now what should I be looking for, If someone has an example to see.

-And the last one I use photoshop and to sharpen my pics I use smart sharpen tool, with this setting; amount 100%, reduce noise 25%, remove lens blur, and I play with the radius to sharpen between 0,2 and 1. Is it the best way to do it or is there something better?

Thank you for your help, have a nice day.

Both would be rejected. Lower resolution means in the ~1280 range. The second image is badly oversharpened, and has no chance at 1920pix.

A peak on the right edge of the histogram can indicate overexposure, yes.

I never use the magnify tool to check sharpening, and I doubt anyone else does either, as it would be far too time-intensive. We can tell simply by looking at the image.

The amount of sharpening needed is almost never uniform, as images are rarely all the same sharpness out of the camera. Personally, I adjust sharpening for each image as needed.

Hello, with all your advice I tried to edit this shot, Is this one ok? Especially for sharpening?

Would be ok for me, though chances would improve at a lower resolution.

Ok, thank you for your help.
