Crosswindphoto · Sun Aug 18, 2019 8:28 pm

1 & 2: Soft, heat haze, a tad blurry.

3: Looks ok.

fsx98 · Sat Aug 24, 2019 1:26 pm

Thanks Tim; will keep the 3rd one in queue and maybe fix the first two later

Post-Screening updates:

N478WN rejected for blurry and quality

"Winnie Mae" rejected for blurry; should I appeal this? Otherwise I'll resize it to 1024 wide.

Crosswindphoto · Sat Aug 24, 2019 1:43 pm

SWA: Definitely blurry towards the tail.

Winnie May: Whole image looks a little blurry, particularity around the tiles. Not worth the appeal, and to be honest, I don't know if it will work at 1024.

Thanks Tim; will bin N478WN completely; may try downsizing Winnie Mae and see what I'll go from there.

N7833A Window view looks OS. Jaggeis are visible on trailing edges of winglet, awing flaps and spoilers. Perhaps a little less sharpening or sharpen in layers and erase the jaggies.
The 2 AA ERJ's look blurry to me, especially 1JA.

Thanks Jehan; I have applied UM only once but will not apply sharpening on re-edit.

The 2 AA ERJs will be removed from queue; will resize the two to mask the blurriness.

fsx98 · Sun Aug 25, 2019 1:44 am

This may not be the best quality, but how is this one?

IMHO, it looks like it has some noise/grain, and some jagged edges (Possibly JPEG compression)
But check with an actual screener first...

Thanks,

Thanks Andrew; will wait on screeners' input...

airkas1 · Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:31 am

Very noisy and poor quality, will not make it.

fsx98 · Tue Aug 27, 2019 11:13 am

Thanks Kas; will remove the N299WN window photo from queue.

fsx98 · Thu Aug 29, 2019 1:35 am

I have three re-uploaded photos that I would like feedback on, please:

N223WN (angle 1):

N223WN (angle 2):

N407WN:

Crosswindphoto · Thu Aug 29, 2019 7:09 am

All 3 are Soft and maybe a tad blurry in parts

fsx98 · Sun Sep 01, 2019 3:44 pm

I have a photo of N761ND uploaded as priority and was originally rejected for soft and UE; corrected both of those and was rejected again for UE again, as well as high contrast; I didn't think that the contrast was bad so I left the contrast as is and also bumped up the exposure settings; uploaded the third time and rejected for high contrast and UE again, plus noise; if I lower the contrast and/or increase exposure of the photo, either the photo will have a grey feel or there would be a blow-out of the nose area or both. Is there any way I could appeal one of the rejected photos?

Here below is the most recently rejected photo:

jelpee · Sun Sep 01, 2019 9:25 pm

Lighting is not the best for this image. Could use a boost to exposure and contrast to improve the lighting (check histogram). But, the nose area looks blurry to me. Too many issue with this one for me to accept it.

Jehan

fsx98 · Mon Sep 02, 2019 12:22 am

Thanks Jehan; I actually got the photo accepted to the database already after adjusting the exposure and even toning down the contrast; I have also adjusted the color settings to blue to correct yellow cast.

jelpee · Mon Sep 02, 2019 1:48 pm

Perhaps I was too harsh in my assessment. Congratulations!

Jehan

fsx98 · Mon Sep 02, 2019 3:05 pm

Thanks Jehan!

N7833A window view update: rejected for OS, but didn't use Unsharpen Mask to sharpen the photo; is this worth an appeal?

jelpee · Wed Sep 04, 2019 10:35 pm

Does not look OS to me.

Jehan

Crosswindphoto · Thu Sep 05, 2019 6:04 am

I'd appeal it.

fsx98 · Thu Sep 05, 2019 2:19 pm

Thanks guys; will do that!

airkas1 · Thu Sep 05, 2019 10:28 pm

I can see some sharp edges on the wing. Also the top middle cloud looks very oddly cut off. Did you clone there?

fsx98 · Fri Sep 06, 2019 12:21 pm

For this edit, I have never used any cloning in this photo; I haven't cropped while editing this photo; is there any way to remove sharp artifacts from the edge of the wing if I haven't used Unsharp Mask to sharpen the photo?

fsx98 · Sun Sep 08, 2019 7:07 pm

I have two photos of N772SK taxiing taken about 30 seconds apart; would these count as double?

Crosswindphoto · Sun Sep 08, 2019 8:00 pm

Maybe, that will likely vary from screener to screener.

However, Bump the exposure on the second a tad, and a little less contrast and it should be good to go!

Tim

airkas1 · Sun Sep 08, 2019 8:47 pm

Yes, a double. And poor foreground on the second one.

fsx98 · Sun Sep 08, 2019 11:51 pm

Thanks Kas and Tim; will bin the second one from queue and keep the first one for sure!

fsx98 · Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:07 pm

Hi everyone! It's been two months since I've asked for feedback, but this is a re upload of a rejected photo for blurriness; it's a long-shot attempt but was wondering if this is passable this time?

And in response to the PM I've received from my rejection email, this is the best one of the two that I could edit from.

Crosswindphoto · Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:42 pm

Heat Hazed, Blurry, Noisy, Quality, not fixable.

Tim

fsx98 · Sat Nov 23, 2019 5:07 pm

Thanks Tim; will bin this one from queue.

JKPhotos · Sat Nov 23, 2019 5:53 pm

Hi,
please consider that blurry is generally not fixable, especially if its allover like in this case.
If you only have a small part that is blurry like the tail or so one might be able to mask it by applying quite some sharpening or chosing a very small sizes. Again this is rather masking than fixing which is not possible.

But generally if a shot is blurry, you will only have chances with maybe another shot from the sequence that is sharper or shooting it again. So unless blurry would be incorecctly used I would generally recommend to let it be when it gets named on a rejection.

fsx98 · Sat Nov 23, 2019 10:51 pm

Thanks Julien; will keep this one in mind for future rejected uploads.

I have another long-shot upload, but let me know what you guys think of this one:

airkas1 · Sun Nov 24, 2019 10:14 am

Marginal quality and without lower light not a really attractive angle at all.

fsx98 · Sun Nov 24, 2019 5:31 pm

Thanks Kas; will bin this one from queue.

fsx98 · Tue Nov 26, 2019 5:52 pm

Hi; I just have a photo of N436WN in the newer "Heart" livery and my upload was "deprioritized," despite no accepted photo of the particular aircraft in the newer livery yet; my photo id is #5789847; why is this the case?

jelpee · Tue Nov 26, 2019 11:57 pm

I cannot see any reason why it would have been deprioritzed, so I'm thinking it was an oversight? I went ahead and screened it for you.

Jehan

fsx98 · Wed Nov 27, 2019 1:28 am

Thanks Jehan! Will also adjust for color to compensate for yellow green cast, as well as bumping up the contrast and even lower the aircraft in frame.

fsx98 · Wed Nov 27, 2019 1:17 pm

N436WN is in after fixes!

Thanks again Jehan for the help!

jelpee · Fri Nov 29, 2019 4:18 am

Glad it made in! Happy to help.

Jehan
