Hi Mark,
Gerry’s previous post/workflow seems fine, but guessing he’s more of a pro?
I use a much quicker approach to airliners net, and although I’ve used RAW, I tend to stick to jpeg for quicker processing. It can still take me many hours to shift through an afternoons shooting….and I’ve other hobbies to fit into a weekend… :rolleyes:
My current stats roughly…78% accepted, 829 pics with nearly 500,000 hits. 😎
I’m shooting with a 300D, and mostly a 100-400L lens.
My workflow PS Elements,
(if the aircraft’s not 75% filling frame of original I don’t even try):-
Level any ground shots to horizon/verticals.
Crop to compose/frame.
Resize to 1024 wide. (height must be 683 minimum).
‘View actual pixels’
Equilize to check for dust spots.
Un equalize.
Clone out spots if required.
Adjust brightness/contrast/colour saturation if required.
Unsharp mask at 500% 0.2 0 once and re-save.
Re open pic, might do another unsharp mask at 150%, 0.2 0 if required, and save once more.
I do 10 to 20 at a time, then leave them until the next day, click through to double check quality, then upload the best/nicest looking ones.
Its good fun to slip in a lower quality one now and again…them screeners can still be beat… :dev2:
