Suggestions on what to edit on these pictures before printing

Does it matter if the final format is JPEG or TIFF?

All images are Jpeg 100% so there is no visible difference between compressed and uncompressed.

Why is the edited F-22(DSCN2149) 3897x2923? All of the pictures you edited look great and I really appreciate your help. :)

I had to crop it because of the lens distortion correction

I haven't done much photo editing and would like some suggestions before having these photos printed.

They look fine to me but WHEN IN THE HELL DID THEY GET AN F22 RAPTOR? OR THE B2? I havent been there in a while tho. I need to go again.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

The National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, OH has the only F-22 and B-2 on display as far as I know, They also have a YF-23 which was the competitor to the F-22 in the research and development part of the museum which you have to sign up in advance to see. Thanks for the reply :)

Just as an example of what I meant, I did a little bit for you!

If you'd like me to color grade the rest of these for you, I would be more than happy to! Unless that's something you can handle on your own!

Did a light touch to this picture.

If any of you would be willing to edit these photos, I would love that. The pictures are originally in Nikon RAW and JPEG, I used Nikon's software ViewNX2 to convert the Nikon RAW to TIFF (8 bit). I am planning on printing each of these pictures from adoramapix on 11x17 metal prints. The largest file size they accept is 60MB which is too small for TIFF (16 bit). Anyone willing to edit these photos I would like to send the TIFF (8 bit) versions which will be a total size of 207.6MB. I love you guys :)

Why as tiff and not as RAW? Also the raws shouldn't be that big and containing way more data.

AdormaPix requires "Max image file size 60MB, JPEG 8-bit sRGB basline (Standard), TIFF 8-bit sRGB, no compression". Yeah the the RAW pictures are 25.8MB and the TIFF (8 bit) pictures are 34.6MB. What would be the best way of sending these pictures? My email limit is 25MB.

Upload to Dropbox or something similar.

Sorry I misunderstood. I figured since they were going to be TIFF in the end that it wouldn't make a difference. That edit looks great, here are all the RAW images. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Those look great. If you don't mind me asking, what software do you use and what did you do in the software to make them looks so good? Thank you. Those really do look great.

@Stealth1304 Great pictures, love planes.

 

Your major problem is that none of the pictures show the planes flying over a volcano during the northern lights. That's largely the museums fault and not yours, but a bit of colour correction can fix that.

(Sorry, I'm very drunk and in a hurry. So I'm just being a dick. And if you're wondering, as I don't have a PC currently capable of Photoshop, background removal was done in PowerPoint)

Separating the foreground and background in Lightroom4 with the brush tool.

Increasing the clarity for the foreground and decreasing it for the background.
