Uploading to Anet/JP? Pre-Screen Here! [Archive] - Page 3

Question for the group- Does anybody out there process their photos on a Mac laptop?

I recently retired my Mac tower workstation and trashed the monitor because it was too far gone.

That said, I now have a MacBook Pro (regular display, not retina) and have been experience some problems
adjusting images for submission to ANEt and JP. Is my only option to buy a large external display?

Thanks

Try calibrating it first.

Aviation.High.Guy

Yes I have calibrated, but I'm concerned that the reason my images look darker after uploading them to the web
may be that I'm using a laptop screen to adjust them. Never had this problem when I used a large desktop display.

What color mode are you shooting and/or editing in?

Any advice?

looks like a lot of heat haze!!

Upload to JP. They love heat haze. :tongue:

Way too hazy. I wouldn't even bother.

Way too hazy. I wouldn't even bother.

I would have to agree in this case, but heat haze is not always the end of the world. For instance, if the shot is of a rare bird, or unique situation the screeners tend to be more lenient. Case and point- I was at the recent JFK Runway Run, which was the ultimate in field access. Heat haze was rampant that morning. All the spotters were shooting under the same conditions. I decided not to bother submitting to JP or ANEt because of the slight distortion in my shots. Low and behold, I am seeing photos being accepted now that were shot right by my side that day. Never give up trying!

take this for example! never thought they would accept this one! but Manny's editing work is AMAZING!!
I actually have a streak going-5 straight without a rejection!!!

Nice. Try learning and editing without any help. I find it way more gratifying, imo.

Jared Blech

Rom, I understand where your coming from and I learned how to edit without any help. It was that one shot i had trouble with. I have a streak going of five by myself! Thanks...

Thoughts? I underexposed the original, and since I think I got it to an acceptable point?

Very nice! I'm just concerned about the empty space in the bottom half of the shot... Have your tried different crops, like zooming on the a/c on the right and cropping the other in an interesting fashion, all the while retaining the rainbow?

It's a cool shot, but I think the screeners might consider it too gimmicky balancing on the wires. But who knows?

Jared, I am looking at this on my monitor at the office, in my eyes this shot is killed by heat distortion :(

I think he should definitely give it a go, but it is true that with the massive amount of photos that are being screened, first impression is key. I did have that same initial thought. I like it though, I like different angles.

Thanks guys. According to the rejection guide, you are allowed 50% of the landing gear be blocked. I know about the heat haze but we will see what happens!

Yeah, I agree with Kaz...the heat haze will be a problem. If it's just caused by the engines, it might be acceptable, but it's all over, really.

Hello, anyone can have some feedback on this?

Don't know if Photobucket is compressing it, but it looks very grainy. Did you run any noise reduction on it? Great pic, nonetheless.

@Kris - you don't want pre-screening - you want everyone to kick your a** for those shots!! LOL - in all honesty - the Portland Timbers looks a little dark to me - unless it's a dusk shot - which it might be - but - the others look good to me...
Thanks Mark, all the shots I was a tad iffy on for Anets standards, I'll see what I can do on the Timbers shot.
