I usually crop and sharpen first, do what I need to do other than re-size, then run the file through Neatimage and finally re-size to a web compatible size, usually 800×532

I hope you don’t mind, but I took the liberty of running the KLM shot through Neatimage –

Before –

After –

It shows up particularly well on the darker belly of the aircraft, which appears to be mottled somewhat in the first shot. Hey presto though – all gone!

It really is a nifty little program, and most people will use Neatimage as their last but one process, before re-sizing to web standard size.

It’s available here – http://www.neatimage.com/ – No I don’t work for them!

I should say, it’s not actually Freeware, the free version has some limitations on what you can do, but is ok for basic noise removal

Good efforts, in bad conditions.

One thing it may be worth doing is downloading a program called Neatimage and running all your shots through the program. It has a filter to eliminate all the ‘noise’ on the shots. A couple of yours, such as the KLM shot, have a speckled effect on the blue parts, and Neatimage will eliminate this.

I only found out about Neatimage a couple of weeks ago, but it’s a great Freeware program

All very good big Rab Like that Swedish Herc.

going to PIK at the weekend is a waste of time because there are very few movements other than FR and Wizz. Is this complete b******s?

Going to PIK at any time is a lap of the gods thing, I’ve stopped in at PIK about 15 times this year, only once was there anything worthy of shooting (AF B777F), even sat one afternoon for 90 mins and nothing moved on the runway (except an ops van:diablo:) but,yes weekends are extra dire (unless of course you get lucky and some weird visitors pop in)

wow! Ive actually travelled n the first choice G-OOBJ 😛 And Great Pics!

Lovely selection of pics despite the unfavourable weather conditions.

Just to clear something up, I was told by a spotter here in Edinburgh that going to PIK at the weekend is a waste of time because there are very few movements other than FR and Wizz. Is this complete b******s?
