    And especially:
    1. 2. 3. is color/contrast ok?
    4. In this new version I think I have fixed halos. Is it ok in that sense? In your opinion the borderline heat haze alone will cause a rejection?
    5. This is an older photo I asked for a pre-screening before, but with a totally different postproduction. Is this acceptable in your opinion?

    Many many thanks!
    1. soft/heat haze
    2. borderline dark/contrast
    3. borderline soft/heat haze
    4. borderline contrast
    5. soft, horizon, overexposed

          Thank you.
          In your opinion, generally speaking is a borderline heat haze fixable? Maybe a little more output sharpening + reducing to 1024p?

            Adding sharpening won't help fix heat haze, but reducing the resolution sometimes does hide it more.

              First of all, I'd like to thank you again for all your advice. I got 14/14 photos accepted in the last few days, and I think all the credit goes to what I learned here.

              About the last batch, what do you think of these versions?

              1. I think I have fixed horizon and exposure, but I see a faint halo around the tail. Is this amount of halo acceptable?
              2. Is now heat haze acceptable?
              3. Are now heat haze and exposure acceptable?

              I can surely put these in the private collection, but I'm trying corrections to improve my workflow.

              Generally speaking, is there a way to reply the "dust spot check tool" of JP in PS, which is most useful for dirt and halos? I searched in the forum, but didn't find a unambiguous answer. I use Equalization + brightness down + contrast up to check my photos, but it is not as effective as your tool.

              Thank you in advance!

                I don't really see processing being an issue on the first. It does look a bit softer than the previous version, or perhaps the heat haze is just a bit more noticeable. The latter two I would still consider borderline for the same reason, but might be ok.

                Other than the equalize function in PS, I am unaware of any replicate the check for dust tool exactly, though anything you can't see without equalizing shouldn't really be cause for a rejection.

                  Hello.

                  I got some rejections I'd like to understand better to improve my skills.

                  Do you have any advice about this? This is the one with the cloud parallel to the airplane, is the problem that it has been seen as a halo, or you can spot jaggies or else?

ID:	1042520 dirty / dust spots

                  This one is driving me crazy... I checked with the equalize tool *and* the jp tool and I can not see any remaining dust spot (I have also checked the position of the dust spots with the other photos of the batch). I see only "spots" created by the clouds and birds, AFAIK. Would you please show me where the dust spots are?

                  As usual, many many thanks in advance

                    Rejected version looks better to me.

                    Also looks ok to me.

                    The bird/dark speck above the nose probably.

                      Moreover, would it be ok to post both .1 and .2 even if they are taken during the same flight?

                      For .1 it is correct that I should flag both "wing view" and "airport overview"?

                      Many many thanks in advance!

                        1-2 would be considered similar, and all images would be rejected for contrast. Only the second looks fixable.

                            It would not be acceptable.

                              Could you point out the reasons? Thank you in advance.

                                It would be rejected for color (orange tint), contrast (too harsh), and overprocessed (editing halos visible).
