sharksfan166269 - prescreening/Editing Advice

[sharksfan166269]

Once again, thank you. I'll try stay away from that, definitely don't want to get in any trouble here.

I've also re-edited another picture of N931WN, would appreciate a pre-screen on this. I've made sure to not touch highlights shadows, vibrance, or clarity, as well as checking the image with the "check for dust" tool, hopefully no overproccesing editing halos...

Thank you for your feedback. I just wanted to clarify - if I was to select a certain area, like I (sloppily) selected just the sky here, and applied a filter, like sharpening, or de-noise as I did in #3, would that count as sky replacement or manipulation? I ask since I have seen tutorials/advice online where some have selected just the plane and sharpened, and I've mistakenly gone ahead and assumed de-noise would be okay. Apologies if it's not....

Hello, I would appreciate if I could get a pre-screen on this image -...

[sharksfan166269]

Thank you for your feedback. I've gone back and re-edited, this time without touching highlights or shadows as well as making sure I exported in the highest quality, hopefully I've managed to avoid editing halos here.

I also wanted to ask, if I was to quickly upload an image and check the image with the "check for dust" tool, would that be a good way to also check for editing halos?...

[sharksfan166269]

I accidentally reduced noise slightly when sharpening, I went back and redid that without the noise reduction - these should be better hopefully...

[sharksfan166269]

Thank you for your feedback, I've reduced the noise and sharpened the aircraft a little more - are these any better?...

[sharksfan166269]

Yep, just learned that at 300mm, this lens is quite prone to chromatic aberration and not being too sharp, so I've tried to shoot not wide open (f/8 - 9), as well as at the fastest shutter speed - 1/4000 to try increase sharpness and decrease CA. Not too sure it worked, but would appreciate a screen on these....

Do you know how to reduce/remove the purple fringing? I've noticed this a lot in most of my photos and I've managed to get rid of most of it in Photoshop, but still appears....

[sharksfan166269]

Would also really appreciate a screen on these - also, assuming there are issues here, do you think they could be fixed?...

[sharksfan166269]

Would also appreciate feedback on these two -...

[sharksfan166269]

Would appreciate any advice on these two pictures. I'll admit this was probably not the best lighting situation so they may be better off bined, but again, any advice is appreciated...

[sharksfan166269]

Thanks for your response, appreciate it a lot...

[sharksfan166269]

I just have one last image I'd appreciate some editing advice on for the time being, especially the centering, I think, or more, I hope, this is better centered as I've tried to balance keeping the entire plane in the center, as well as trying to keep the fuselage in center. Thanks in advance...

[sharksfan166269]

Would appreciate any advice on how to better edit this -...

[sharksfan166269]

Thanks, I've also got a request for these 3 images - they should hopefully be sized correctly...

[sharksfan166269]

Hello all, I was wondering if the following image would be acceptable or if it would be rejected. I definitely have my doubts about this image due to the composition (rear half of the fuselage, tail). I've only been spotting with a DSLR for a few days, so any advice would be greatly appreciated....
