I'm starting to suffer a number of rejections for Jpeg Compression, which is unusual as normally anything that I'm confident of sails through screening. I earn money from sports photography, use professional kit and have over a thousand images on the site so I like to think I know what I'm doing.
However, jpeg compression is becoming a problem. This latest example was rejected for it as well as bad processing.
I genuinely don't see anything wrong with the image. I was going to appeal but thought I'd try posting here instead.
My workflow is to shoot in raw, edit the image, and save it as a TIFF file. Editing is to crop, center, clone out dust spots and sometimes clone out traces of a vignette as I shoot with a fullframe camera and vignetting happens quite often. The last task before saving the tiff is to adjust the levels so that the exposure will be acceptable to screeners.
The saved TIFF file is then used as a master to create two jpegs. One is the final image which I keep with all my other aircraft images. The second is the one uploaded to Jetphotos.
To produce a jpeg for Jetphotos I resize the Tiff to 1200 pixels wide, sometimes recrop it to 16x9 to remove sky and then apply sharpening.
At this point I equalize the image to check that no flaws have appeared. If none have, them I save the edited TIFF file as a jpeg. (Quality 12, baseline standard). All done in the current version of photoshop.
The quality of the new jpeg file is never as good as the TIFF was but it usually passes screening. However, I'm finding that more and more are getting rejected for compression.
What should I be doing differently?
