Interpreting text is a remarkable feature. I can read very well but extracting details from pictures or maps takes forever and needs bright light. I have embedded  Zeiss optics.

 

Thanks for that very interesting link Cheshire.

Invaluable Thorsten, thank you.

 

I enjoyed the forum contributions also.

While the article is useful, as usual, it ignores various controls that LR offers.  For instance, in the develop module that Thorsten pictures, there are several sections to work through, starting with the 'basic' panel, then working to the right for colors....each serves a role.  There's a checkbox for CA, as well as the eye dropper tool to refine adjustments.  And, as mentioned, newer LR versions offer further local adjustment capabilities.  For those wanting to explore more, these controls, options and techniques are well covered in various free tutorials, e.g., from Julieanne Kost and others.

Can you point me toward some info discussing local adjustment capabilities?

Any LR book or video that shows use of adjustment brush, gradient tool, etc.  Julieanne Kost videos are free, as are others, and Scott Kelby or Martin Evening books (among others) are good primers for those who prefer written reference guides.  

 

Note that the CC version of LR now includes local adjustment capabilities (e.g., for blacks, for de-haze, etc) that are not included in the standalone (perpetual license) version of LR6.   Any new additions to CC other than camera/lens updates will only appear for standalone users in LR7, assuming that's even offered by Adobe.  The local de-fringe, however, has been around for awhile.  And the eyedropper tool (targeted adjustment tool) is one of the more useful LR tools IMO.....for lots of things besides de-fringe.

Maybe post some samples/screen dumps of how you use the other tools. It's interesting. 

 

I mostly do general adjustments of of images in Lightroom and very seldom use Graduated Filter, Radial Filter or Adjustment Brush. If I want to correct something I will usually do it in Photoshop which is the best tool for that. 

 

Same goes for fringing adjustment. But if you have the f/1.0 or other "older" lenses made for film the fringing may be more than a general adjustment can handle. My 19mm/2.8 R-lens has more fringing than can be handled with general adjustments. 

 

As said in the article I only had one image were a dress in the picture changed color so I had to fix it another way. But in everything else, the only change in the image has been that the purple fringe disappear. So that's why I say (based on my experience) that going all the way with the ruler fixes it. No need to see if half way does it if all the way does it and it doesn't affect the rest of the image.

Going all the way often affects other parts of my images. The unwanted artifacts (i.e. things become b&w) are not easy to see at a macroscopic level, but they look quite unnatural when checking details (e.g. b&w lips on a lady's face, or flowers, or silouhette of a jacket, et cetera).

As I've already mentioned, Julieanne Kost free LR videos, and various other videos and books, cover LR capabilities far better than I.  De-fringing is but one of many global and local LR tools, most of which operate using the same basic workflow.

 

You may recall that you and I have commented back and forth in other threads on more than a few occasions regarding our respective editing styles.  No right or wrong...you seem to prefer simple, quick (sometimes batch) adjustments, often ignoring the many LR tools and functionalities, while I take more advantage of various global and local adjustment tools.

 

These LR tools have gotten far better over the years, which is one reason why I've always updated my LR versions, while you stayed with LR 3 for years, despite later, improved (in my opinion) versions.  I have a version of Photoshop, but have found more and more over the years that LR can now do many things that before required both software programs.  It seems Adobe will eventually force everyone to CC, and then we'll have all the software in one place, whether we need it all or not.

Good article. Thanks.

 

Any chance of a follow-up on how to remove purple checked jackets?
