    imgae taken from our first Africa trip in 2013. Tarangire National Park was a great find. We loved the diversified species and habitat.

    Mid day, but bright cloudy day. Used Nik to get details out of the sky.
    Small rotation, but otherwise FF

    Thank you for your comments.

    Hi Loi nice habitat and animal scape shot.Nice detail and color/tone combo. Enough detail in the clouds no need for more drama .
    Just watch your halos and color fringing is visible too.

    Hi Loi - Beautiful scene. You handled the light well and nice job getting separation between each of the giraffes. Nice dof. Clouds look good. Good points by Andreas.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    A nice scene, Loi. Tarangire is high on my African bucket-list for sure.
    You handled the sky well - halos noted and yes, make sure you tick the chromatic abberation box in LR/ACR, even for zoom/tele lenses...

    Thank you everyone for your comments. I looked again at the halo and am convinced it is due to re-sizing. Here is a Rp without any sharpening, only re-sizing and I see the same halo. How do you deal with it? Thank you. Loi

    Hi Loi - Is the halo not present at all before you resize or is it augmented by resizing? IME halos can be from too much clarity, not feathering a selection enough, LCE, use of shadows/highlights and too much sharpening. I'm sure there are other causes too. It doesn't look like a sharpening halo. It seems to mostly be occurring at transitions from light to dark, like the sky to the neck here and the sky to the tree trunks in your other image. Let's see what ideas the others have.

    Hi Rachel, now I understand. I'm sure the halo is due to masking, not sharpening or selection. I will be more careful. Thank you. Loi

    Hi Loi and Rachel .
    Just want to jump in , with my thoughts .
    1st of all , the color fringing is still there in the RP . 2nd the halos are still there too.
    To me it looks like a sharpening halo , as far as my experience goes , masking halos are looking softer . you have a consistent halo on all contrast edges .And if you mask with a lumo mask , and you do not blur it you get no halo . Saying this as far as i know and practice.

    Loi to make it easier to help you and us , just type the complete workflow with all the steps you have done from capture to output. I am pretty sure we will find the enemy who is on duty for the halo.

    Do not forget , when you downsize , depending on the algorithm you get halos too .

    Cheers Andreas
