Color Fringing (Chromatic Aberration) Corrections
Keywords: photoshop, tutorials, tutoriels, blooming, colors, modification, digital, camera, purple fringing , color, colour

 

 

For some reasons (some) digital cameras will create a purple halo around elements of your photos.
It will show up in blue, magenta or (most often) purple if you zoom in on your image.

Here is a few methods to remove these Color Aberrations from your photos.

   

Method #1

1. Create a new Layer.

2. Select the color the area should be with the Eyedropper Tool.

3. Paint over the Fringing with a soft edge brush.

 

2. Change the Layer Blending Mode to Color.

   

Method #2

1. Use the Sponge Tool to desaturate the Fringe.

 

   

Method #3

1. Bring up the Hue/Saturation Menu and select >Edit>Magentas (or pick the color of the fringing with the Eyedropper).

2. Reduce the Saturation.

To avoid modifying colors in rest of the photo, you might want to duplicate the Photo and create a mask that will only show the fringe areas. (What a great excuse to buy a Wacom Graphic Tablet)

 

 

   

Method #4

1. >Image>Adjustments>Replace Color and pick the fringing color.

2. Reduce the Saturation or adjust its color.

To avoid modifying colors in rest of the photo, you might want to duplicate the Photo and create a mask that will only show the fringe areas. (What a great excuse to buy a Wacom Graphic Tablet)
