Thanks for the tip. That was something new to me and it’s such a nice and easy fix. Appreciate the help with my photography :)
Cool tip – thanks! I usually use the sponge tool to remove CA but that doesn’t work in all situations so your technique will be helpful!
Hello Nicol, this is a really useful tip. Quick and effective. I´ll definitely use it on my next photo.
Thanks for the tip. Because the CA was so strong, I had to push the gaussian blur up to 100 in order to get rid of it.
Wow! Great tip! My scans of my pen drawings had a lot of Purple Fringing. Your work-around really helps! Thanks a lot! Frank
Nicole, I have football photos where there is an orange helmet and a white face mask and the fringing is pretty extreme. Where I have black against the face mask I have no problem with this technique but on the orange helmet it turns the purple to grey and I didn’t know if I had to clone the color back in or if there was an easier way to make sure the orange butted up against the white as it should naturally.
