Chromatic Aberration / Purple Fringing

Post by greenboy »

Seems the other major trouble for prosumer/sub-SLR enthusiasts these days is purple-fringing or some variant, with more of these cameras stuffing greater-ranged lenses and more megapixels onto a smaller sensor space.

Sure would love to see the same ease of use and quality results for this purpose!

Thank you for the suggestion!

It is an important issue, you are rigth. However it may be more difficult than noise reduction both in terms of methods and marketing. We keep our eyes and minds open and if we come up with an efficient method of fighting fringing then it is likely to be implemented in software.

Thank you once again,
Vlad

Might not hurt to look at a couple photoshop actions that are already out there for this. I'm sure you could improve on them and in plugin format. What I've often done when seeing, for example, backlit tree branches, is to find the average color value for the flares, and then for the sky around them in that picture, and then choosing the same approximate range in a saturation tool, and shifting them into the sky color, or desaturating them and then bucketfilling with the closer sky colors.

It turns out good enough, but takes a few steps and some time figuring it all out ; }
