RE: Help With Photos

Hi the most obvious thing looking at your images are the halo's round the aircraft.

RE: Colours And Brightness Problem

Yes but why would you want to work in a colour space that you know you are going to 'loose' colour from? Lightroom can be changed to work in the sRGB if required. A colour transformation, perceptual or relative is still changing the colour so I why would you want to do it? .. I wouldn't.

RE: Technique- How Much Can I Control Graininess?

One way is to shoot RAW and set your raw converter's noise reduction to remove any noise. But be warned not to apply too much (don't use the default setting) as this gives a 'banding' look to sky's which can be mistaken for compression.

RE: A Discussion About Filesize

I have to say I normally stay out of this sort of thread but removing the pixel size from the comments is just bizarre. I do tend to look at an image that is 1600px as it is harder to get the quality at that size as stated. For me it is just unnecessary and pointless sensorship.
