RE: SAS RJ85 CPH-LCY (operated By RC)

Hi,

RE: Prescreen Request

Hi,

the colours in both pictures look 'flat' to me. Additional contrast/saturation is needed.
The NWA has a strange, green (?) colour cast and both shots need an extra kick of sharpness.

RE: Soft And Grainy Help Please

Hi,

sorry to say but I don't think you will be able to fix it with some mare sharpening and noise reduction. The whole picture looks slightly blurry to me.
