Chromatic aberration? Something else? How to edit?

JustJazzie · Jan 1, 2015

I printed my mountain picture recently, and this green fringing I hadn't really noticed before is very prominent in the print. I am trying to figure out the easiest/best way to fix it.

Any suggestions are very much appreciated!

If you are using LR then it is just go to Lens Correction in the Develop module and either use the green slide on the color tab or grab the eye dropper and select the fringing. Should be able to fix that in 2 to 3 minutes. Nice shot :icon_thumleft:

Purple and green are always a sure sign of CA.

WIth Aperture go to the Adjustments tab and add Chromatic Aberration to the default set. Then use the sliders until you get here you want to be.

Aperture is one of the few Apple programs I don't like, to me it isn't user friendly. LR is worth every penny. Not a fan of the LR catalog structure but other than that it is absolutely fantastic for tweaking photo's. :icon_thumleft:

Lightroom is on the long list. when we redo the computer (soon) Ill make the jump. Right now, I am trying to learn CS6 and I mostly know aperture so I dont want to make myself too frustrated KWIM?
