For your PC needsAU Digital Photo Of The Day
10-12-2003, 03:24 PM
They have just rejected my image that I uploaded the other day. That's
fine, I did not think it would be their cup-o-tea as it was a 737 on
landing, shot through the full runway length heat haze.
It is rather an "artie" type of shot so I kinda expected it be knocked back,
but the email from them is funny, as they proceed to tell me how to fix
it.....
"The image quality of these photos is low. This may be the result of several
perceived problems happening simultaneously, such as grain, blur, lighting,
contrast or color defects, which would lead us to believe that a fresh scan
(in the case of a non-digital image) or a complete rework starting with the
original camera file (in the case of a digitally taken image)would be
necessary,
rather than a simple adjustment to the uploaded file.
It could be caused by the scanner you are using, the way you scanned your
photos, the (digital) camera, the light conditions when you shot the photos,
object out of focus, improper photo manipulations or any combination
thereof. Most of the time, the cause is either a bad scanner or that the
scanner wasn't used properly. If you think this might be the cause, please
read the documentation for your scanner and find the best DPI and color
settings. Generally a higher DPI and color setting will make a higher
quality image but only to a certain degree and it differs between different
brands of scanners. Try many different settings until you find the best
combination. If you are using an old or low quality scanner you might
consider investing in a new or borrow one from your friend/workplace/school.
If you are using a digital camera, check camera settings, please be aware
also that ,unprocessed, digital camera output is generally not
of acceptable quality for airliners.net. If you are using a lower quality
digital
camera with a resolution below 3 Megapixel you might consider investing in a
camera with higher resolution or borrow one from your
friend/workplace/school."
