I am working on on1 2020 and would appreciate any thoughts on editing this photo. In addition to the tone and brightness, I am unable to remove the fringing around the edges of the hotel in Quebec. All advice will be appreciated.

Assuming you are working from the RAW file, I am far from experienced with post processing and do not use On1, but it seems like you are pushing the shadows further than the data can support. Did you try bringing the shadow areas down and see if the problem slowly lessens?

Using DarkTable terminology (it's all I have to reference from), I use the Tone Curve module in conjunction with brightness, contrast, exposure plus others. If I need to extract a wide dynamic range, I'll either bracket at time of shooting, or just live with some darker/lighter areas as to not push the pixels beyond natural.

Just my $ .02, there are others than may be able to give us an exact answer.

Morganti recently did a video about (what may be) what you're referring to. The lines where light and dark meet. If that's what you mean... he said to be cautious about the 'clarity' slider being too high. (In Lightroom... that's in the 'basic' module.)

If that's not what your concerned with... I don't know.

It looks to me that you layered a new sky in. Is this correct. If so that's half your issue in the way you masked it in.

Yes, I did layer a new sky onto the photo.

According to THIS, On1 2020 does support lens correction for many lenses. If your lens profile isn't included there may be a manual lens correction section that you can use.

The problem is as bad as it is because your editing has aggravated it. Darkening and saturating blue (and possibly orange) hasn't helped, and I suspect that applying sharpening has made it worse.

I can't help with the fringing but, it's a beautiful building.

Here is the fringe removed using pretty simple raster editing techniques, but I wonder if it is worth the effort.

Try less sharpening and contrast. Also, try using the chisel tool.

There are built in tools to On1 to remove purple and green fringing in the Develop module (at the bottom of the tool set). Were these ineffective?

lwerthe1mer Loc: Birmingham, Alabama

The chisel tool was ineffective. It appears that my problems are twofold: substituting a new sky and being too aggressive with the tone and color sliders. I’m going to redo the sky and back off on the sliders. Hopefully I will be able to share a better photo with everyone.

I’ll also look for the tools you mentioned.

Fringing is the least of the issues. The blown-out clouds are a bigger distraction.

For OP:
Would it be possible to see the original with an unedited sky? Just curious to see why it was changed.

Thanks!

In addition to all the comments you received here, you might post your original and sky replacement image in the post-processing section for others to try and ask that they describe all their steps. This could be a great learning tool for not only you, but others also.

in ON1 use the chisel mask tool to get rid of halos.
