Would be interested if you know how to make those halos easily visible in PS , when they are present in an image ???
Hi Andreas, in the image of the duck flapping it wings where you mentioned seeing a halo on the right side I went through the history Lightroom records of the post processing step by step to see if something I did caused the halo. Nothing I did caused the halo so I looked at the original image before post processing. The halo showed on the original image. I think it must be from the contrast between the dark/black feathers and the light color of the water with pixels transitioning from the dark to the light that caused the halo. I took the post processed image into Photoshop and zoomed to see the individual pixels. Using the Clone Stamp tool I blended the halo to match the pixels of the water.

Easy way to identify any haloing is adding a levels adjustment on top of the layers stack in PS .
Then dragging the MID TONE slider ... to the right ( for white halo ) or to the left ( for black halo ) .
Ok Joe leave that to you if that is a halo from contrast or appearing in the original capture with NO SHARPENING APPLIED .
