Hi Hogs, haven't been on here much recently, been busy hay and silage making! Went out on Saturday and decided to try some macro work using my G3 Lumix , a very old Tamron 80-200mm and 34mm of extension tubes. I used Aperture priority as the lens can't talk to the body.
DOF is ultra short with this set-up, too short to be honest as it's not possible to get a whole bumble bee in focus using F3.8 0r even F8. Anyway that's not the problem.
Although I was quite pleased with the results, (it's been over 30 years since I used these old Pentax tubes), there's some blue fringing or chromatic aberration on the legs. I thought I'd be able to remove it with CS6 but to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Please and Thank-you!
Jim
Fringe on Fuzzie's leg!

Hi, think I managed to get rid of the blue around the bees legs.
Thanks Swallowtail, that's a improvement especially on #2, how did you do it?
I tried with the lens correction filter in CS6 using the chromatic aberration sliders but it didn't do anything.

I used Photoshop Elements 11, went to create new fill or adjustment layer, then hue / saturation, and adjusted the Cyans.
Thanks for the info, it did the trick! Well done. :thumbup:

That's okay, glad it worked. I tried all the colours but cyan was the one affecting those particular photos.
