If you are referring to purple/blue fringe, it's called chromic aberration and it's more evident is some lenses than others. It occurs when you have a very contrasty picture, i.e., a lot of black next to white. Almost all of it can be removed by some of the post processing programs, either directly, or simply by reducing the blue and red channels. This shot has a contrast range way beyond a camera's abilities to capture. You may be able to get both the barn interior and the outside exposed correctly useing HDR, or some post processing methods.

Thank you. This is very helpful. I'll adjust the chromic aberration setting in LR.

what is causing the aura around my subjects in this shot... If you zoom in its very apparent. Thanks! Fran

There is no way to get meaningful feedback. Too many variables.


The feedback was actually meaningful and the problem resolved. Love the photographers on this site. :)

I have not seen this mentioned, so maybe it is worth noting that if you shoot raw, there is NO color space. Color space is applied at export (Lightroom) or when you click Open ( Photoshop). In Photoshop you make that selection at the very bottom of the screen in ACR.

A second point is that if you open/export the image as sRGB, you cannot regain gamut by switching to AdobeRGB 1998. In my case, since the majority of my work is printed at a commercial lab, I immediately open in sRGB and it stays there. Prints are gorgeous.
Those who tell you sRGB is ONLY for the web have no idea what they are talking about. Yes, if you are printing with a high-end inkjet or a lab that accepts Adobe RGB, it "might" be worth it if the image contains the colors clipped by sRGB, but sRGB prints look fantastic.

Thanks, I'm sticking with sRGB...

In-camera white balance settings really affect only two things — the in-camera JPEG processing, and the JPEG preview and metadata stored inside a raw file along with the raw image data.

When you open a raw file in the right software, it will use the JPEG metadata to set up its INITIAL processing parameters, so what you get will look much like any JPEG you saved, or could have saved, in the camera. You can change the look as you like.

For that reason, regardless of whether I'm using a JPEG workflow or a raw workflow, I try to nail my JPEG settings.

MOST photo labs and the entire Internet and world of mobile devices (and most home and office computers) use sRGB. The dirty little secret of silver halide photo processing, used by the majority of labs, is that the paper cannot display much more than sRGB in most parts of the spectrum. So there is little advantage for the lab to use Adobe RGB, or ProPhoto RGB (which would cost them a lot of money spent on high end monitors!). My own tests bear this out... There just isn't much of a need unless inkjet printing is in the mix.

Check with your lab before sending them any files in a wide gamut color space.

If you are working with a high-end service bureau, or doing your own printing on a high-end inkjet, then Adobe RGB or ProPhoto make a lot of sense. The high end inkjets can print a lot more of the super-saturated colors found in those wider color gamut spaces.

Thanks for taking the time to provide the detail in a clear and understandable manner. :)

[quote=jcboy3]As stated, make sure you export in sRGB space and not AdobeRGB. This is one of those reasons to shoot RAW; AdobeRGB is great for printers, sRGB is great for web.

jcboy, do you always change the setting to AdobeRGB when printing? Is there a big difference between RGB and Adobe RGB in prints? Thanks.

I mostly shoot in studio and I always do a white balance with the studio strobes. I shoot in sRGB and the colors are nailed. I am amazed when I hear of other photographers NOT doing a white balance and figuring they can take the RAW and "fix it in post."


For these images I went with auto wb. When viewing the images during post processing, I felt the camera made the right choice using auto wb. Perhaps setting my wb could have alleviated my issue; But I'm not sure. The issue occurred during export. Changing the export function to sRGB made the difference. Thanks for the comment regarding the camera setting being the same...I need to check my setting as I recall setting it up using Adobe sRGB.

I think it was the RGB setting. It was set to AdobeRGB. I changed it, as suggested by a couple of you, and it looks much better. I'll reattach. Please let me know if it looks clearer, less muddy, etc...

THANK YOU!!!!

Fran, do you remember when HD TV came into being? The public was upset because nothing was being broadcast in HD, so the picture on the new TV was just like the old TV. We thank you for thinking so highly of us, but we don't have anything to make us appreciate your kindness, yet Wait until we catch up to you, then we will be more appreciative. Until then, thanx.


That's what I was thinking... The image quality is grand on my Mac...not so much on my older equipment...

On my Samsung monitor, running Windows 7 pro and using a Chrome browser, the image appears a little dark, muddy, low-contrast, and unsharp. The highlights in the glass, for example, are not a crisp "white" white, they are a little muddy and darker than pure white. Hope this helps.


It's interesting...that's not what I seeing on my Mac...

I process my images in LR on a Mac laptop with retina display. I also use colormunki to calibrate my monitor. When I send the images via the web, the image quality is poor on other devices including my iPad and desktop monitors. What causes this???

I'm adding an image...not sure how it will appear...

Thanks!!!

This is from a high school basketball game with the very lens I suggested, the Canon 28-300mm F3.5-5.6. Go ahead, tell me it is too dim.


Definitely not too dim. The ISO on this image was bumped up to 4000. Will a lesser camera body handle the higher ISO as well?
