Hello, could you please give me your opinions about this engine pick ;

airkas1 · Mon Jul 03, 2017 10:51 pm

I'd say 50/50. Not bad, but not great either. Motive-wise it's OK for me.

LotmaniaK · Fri Jul 14, 2017 2:41 pm

A few photos from today :

airkas1 · Fri Jul 14, 2017 2:46 pm

They all look oversharpened to me, some at marginal quality.

HarryLi · Sun Jul 16, 2017 7:10 am

I agree with Kas comment... all of them seem to be oversharpened.

LotmaniaK · Tue Aug 29, 2017 9:06 am

Im looking for feedback for this photo : An-2

airkas1 · Tue Aug 29, 2017 9:36 am

The crop on the steering columns isn't great. I would try to include both yokes.

LotmaniaK · Tue Aug 29, 2017 10:11 am

Unfortunetly I dont have a photo with both yokes visible because there was not much space there, any other suggestion for crop ?

LotmaniaK · Fri Sep 01, 2017 5:20 pm

Another 2 photos :

Recent rejection :

Dark & Soft

Both of the 2 photos that you showed above look backlit to me. Thus, it looks dark and underexposed. Other things i am not sure as i don't open the big pic.
Regarding to the rejected one, it looks soft to me too especially the window of the cockpit but it doesn't look dark.

Cheers,
Harry

I would make the crop symmetrical. Outside is also overexposed, not sure if that's fixable?

The 2 fighter jets are underexposed due to poor light (toplit it seems, doubt they're fixable, sorry).

LotmaniaK · Sun Sep 03, 2017 10:14 am

Thanks for your feedback, one more photo :

airkas1 · Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:04 pm

Oversharpened and marginal quality, sorry.

LotmaniaK · Mon Oct 02, 2017 9:03 am

Hello again, I want some opinions about this wing view :

LotmaniaK · Wed Dec 20, 2017 7:21 pm

I'm back with a new photo of Mi-8.

LotmaniaK · Mon Dec 25, 2017 6:04 pm

Two more photos. I'm waiting for feedback

airkas1 · Wed Dec 27, 2017 10:33 am

Cockpit photo: oversharpened and not a really appealing crop.
A330: oversharpened, marginal quality. Bit underexposed. Almost looks like a B&W photo with some color, but it's probably the light that tricks the eyes? Either way wa bit more saturation won't hurt.
Max: oversharpened, bit underexposed, marginal at the nose.

LotmaniaK · Wed Dec 27, 2017 1:48 pm

Thanks for criticism. Almost all of my photos seems oversharpened :cry:

HarryLi · Wed Dec 27, 2017 3:39 pm

I agree with Kas's opinions that all of them are OS to me. Eepscially the MAX, the title part of it ( POLISH AIRLINES & LOT ) is very obvious and the tail has obvious jaggy, exposure looks not bad to me but could be bit of brighter.A330 some parts have obvious jaggys. Exposure is iffy ...

Chees,
Harry

LotmaniaK · Mon Jan 01, 2018 8:07 pm

Another one, 767 ...

jelpee · Mon Jan 01, 2018 11:31 pm

Max,

The TUI 767 looks good to me. Only recommendation is to frame it a little wider to accommodate the wheels of the APU which would make the picture "Whole".

Jehan

LotmaniaK · Mon Jan 01, 2018 11:39 pm

Super

Thanks Jehan

LotmaniaK · Tue Jan 02, 2018 6:14 pm

What about this 787 cabin view ?

jelpee · Tue Jan 02, 2018 6:23 pm

I would add some brightness, a touch of sharpening, and some noise reduction to the areas in the shadows and it should be fine.

Cheers,

Jehan

LotmaniaK · Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:41 pm

Is this version better ?

jelpee · Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:49 pm

Max, the second version looks fine for me.

Jehan

LotmaniaK · Wed Jan 03, 2018 5:05 pm

Next one, 787 ...

jelpee · Wed Jan 03, 2018 8:45 pm

Hi Max,

The image can use some added brightness. I checked the historgram and there is room on the right side for some added brightness.
I see some minor jaggies on the leading edge of the starboard wing and flap area; if I were you, I'd clean it up before submission.
The nose looks a bit soft, but not a show stopper for me.
Of course, please remove your copyright symbol or else it will be rejected for it.

Nice light on it.

Jehan

LotmaniaK · Wed Jan 03, 2018 9:07 pm

Is this amount of brightness good ? What tool should I use to clean out jaggies ? Do you think it is sligthly low in frame or not ?

airkas1 · Wed Jan 03, 2018 9:20 pm

Centering is fine, but unable to comment on the rest due to looking on my phone.

jelpee · Wed Jan 03, 2018 11:27 pm

Max,

Brightness looks good for me. Centering is also OK.
Re. the jaggies on the wing, I apply sharpening on a layer in small increments (e.g. 50% at radius 0.2) and check for jaggies. If any appear, I use the eraser tool on those areas where the sharpening caused jaggies. Repeat if needed. This leaves the sharpening on the areas that need it and removes it from areas where jaggies appear.

Hope this helps!

I think I misunderstood something with how to dealing with jaggies. Where is my mistake ? Duplicate layer >>> apply sharpening on background copy >>> use eraser tool on background copy (standard mode, not background or magic)(nothing happens) >>> delete background copy, finish.

Hi Max,

Sorry, I left out one important step in use of the layers. I use the same steps as you do except at the end, I flatten the image. This ensures that the effects of the changes on the background copy stays with the original image. If you delete the background layer, then all of your edits including the sharpening and selective erasing get deleted.

To confirm here are my steps:
1. Create background copy layer
2. Select aircraft only using "magic wand" or "quick selector." If it is an aircraft with a plain sky background, I use the magic wand on the sky and then invert the selection followed by expansion by 1 pixel (all available in the "Select" tab of Photoshop Elements. It is faster than selecting the aircraft. There may be similar functions in your photo editor. No point in sharpening the sky since it only introduces graininess.
3. Apply sharpening on background copy layer. Check for jaggies.
4. If jaggies are visible, use eraser tool on the jaggies on the background copy layer
5. Flatten image. If additional sharpening is needed, open a second background layer
5. Expand selection by 1 pixel and repeat sharpening and selective erasing. If you do not expand the selection, you might end up with sharpening halos.
6. If OK, Flatten Image.

You can PM me if you want some additional details.

What about this picture ?

LotmaniaK · Sat Jan 06, 2018 7:33 am

767 Tui rejected for motive & soft.
https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/air ... 0e21d73ee7

HarryLi · Sat Jan 06, 2018 11:45 am

LOT : The color looks pretty strange to me and and i think it could be brighter. Besides, the title and REG look slight OS.
767 TUI : Nose part looks slight soft to me. Not quiet sure about the Motive issue as there is an obstruction which covers the gear.

Cheers,
Harry

airkas1 · Sat Jan 06, 2018 12:01 pm

The LOT is oversharpened and quite yellow. Looks a bit marginal. The TUI doesn't look super soft, but the motive rejection is understandable.

LotmaniaK · Sat Jan 06, 2018 6:49 pm

Another one, 787 ...

HarryLi · Sun Jan 07, 2018 1:34 am

Color looks better than last one but it still looks Oversharpened i think.

airkas1 · Sun Jan 07, 2018 11:18 am

Looks oversharpened to compensate blur.

LotmaniaK · Sun Jan 07, 2018 3:25 pm

Thanks for feedback Harry and Kas. I'm still trying ....

airkas1 · Sun Jan 07, 2018 3:56 pm

Color is fine, but still oversharpened.

LotmaniaK · Sun Jan 07, 2018 4:10 pm

I think it must be something wrong with my camera settings, because I don't apply any additional sharpness in photoshop.

LotmaniaK · Sat Mar 24, 2018 7:11 pm

Hello, please give me your thoughts about this photo:

LotmaniaK · Sun Apr 15, 2018 11:56 am

I got this photo rejected for blurry and quality, any thoughts ?
https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/air ... 33ed71ab8a

HarryLi · Sun Apr 15, 2018 1:39 pm

The front part looks not bad to me but the rest look slight blurry especially the tail looks slight blurry.

LotmaniaK · Sat Apr 21, 2018 8:32 am

Can I have some feedback about this two photos ?

The JAL looks blurry and the Cebu might be passable.

LotmaniaK · Sat Apr 21, 2018 9:10 am

Thanks for replying, maybe this one looks better:
