Hello everybody, I've got first 2 photos that are very close to be accepted but they are rated as low contrast. Please tell me how much should I adjust contrast. Thank you for every feedback.

LH: +20 contrast, with the right slider to 245 for extra brightness.
Tarom: +10 contrast, with the right slider to 235 for extra brightness.

By the way, it's easier when you post the links to the photos, because embedding rejected photos doesn't work (it only shows the thumgnails, but we can't open them).

Thank you for your response. I use DPP4 so I tried to adjust everything with 1 decimal place less. This is post correction results:

The LH A320 is passable for me. The Tarom B737 looks over-sharpened to me nd will likely draw a rejection for it.

Interesting. I set the same sharpening values for both photos and none of them was marked as over-sharpened by first screeners. Anyway thanks for all feedback, I will try to upload both again.

I agree with Jehan's opinions. The LH looks ok to me too but Tarom looks OS as i can see some jaggys around the plane.

It's common that different people have different standard to it we can't hold the exact same standard. If you compare it to the LH i think maybe you could see some differences. :D

Thank you for your feedback. I'll lower unsharp mask strength a little bit.

Hi, I have this photo rejected for having low contrast and being oversharpened. It is true? How should I get it fixed? Thanks for advice.

Contrast looks OK for me. Do not see over sharpening...actually looks blurry to me(nose and tail).
