Open it up and put And put a little bit of blur on it on it . Might fix it completely or at least 90%

Thanks everyone. Learned my lesson when sharpening. I don't have the original. I used photoshop with gaussian blur and then darken mode for the sharpened areas and then lightened the rest. It worked pretty good.

Gaussian Blur can also lead to unexpected results.

I have that on some photos and tried the clone stamp. It works well, but is tedious and time consuming.

There is a detailed explanation about how to do this in Scott Kelby's book "Photoshop for Lightroom Users. It is too detailed for me to try to explain it, but refer to pages 170 and 172. It basically uses selection tools (Quick selection) and Cloning tools depending upon the subject matter.
Or I would just reopen the original and resharpen less and lay off the clarity tool. I imagine this has already been suggested so I am mentioning it in case it hasn't been. Hope this helps.

One of my dislikes is over sharpening. For a while I using on PR photos for clients.
Now I am looking for a compromise. Viewers of all medias are now looking at over cooked
images. If that is what the creator had in mind. Otherwise consider the look of your image.

Now please don't start with the creator can do anything he wants with his image.
I predict the softer and color look of fica will be back soon it is creeping up.

Yes. Here is a method, I previously described, when I run into situations like yours.

You've heard the warnings about over sharpening in the first place, which is good advice. But there are times when you just need to remove the fringes due to a variety of causes. Oversharpening just being one of them. Excessive darkening, such as a sky against trees or mtns, , over use of dehaze, clarity or contrast are other potential causes of fringing.
