EASY fix to remove HALOS & White Edge Fringing from LANDSCAPE photography images in Photoshop

EASY fix to remove HALOS & White Edge Fringing from LANDSCAPE photography images in Photoshop
Whit will be a new series on this channel about editing and post-processing your images. Will give out knowing that I have learned during the last 15 years and I hope it will be useful for some of you :)
In this episode the main subject is Halos or Edge fringing in images. Why does edge fringing appear and how can we get rid of it.
There are actually a lot of ways how this can happen... just to name a few:
Problems with stacking and aligning images, being to brave with the Highlight and Shadows slider in Lightroom, Camera Raw or Capture one, for example, Sky Replacement gone wrong, a real contrasty images + a lot of sharpening and one of the things mentioned above etc. So it will happen to all of us one time or another :)
Will show you some ways that I have seen people trying to fix this problem (paintbrush and clone stamp) and then will show you my way that I learned some years ago with layer blend modes + a clone stamp tool. And in the positive side its totally non-destructive workflow.
Hope this video helps you out with Halos, white edges, edge fringes!
If you have any ideas or have problems with your editing let me know and if there is enuff interest will try to make an episode out of it.
Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching! This Series is going to be called probably Editing Thursdays after this episode and if you have any ideas/questions let me know and i will do my best to make an episode about it. And if you are not yet subscribed.... :) go and press that button. Thank you !👍

[@MikeSimpson1]

Yes. Definitely the best method is clone color and paint with brush using darken blend mode. I wish you had reached this point earlier than almost ten minutes into the video. Thanks.

[@fordprefect4301]

Terrific tutorial and Thank you Caspar. Thought the description of how these halos get introduced into the image and of course the explanation of how to fix them was very well explained. I use LR and get these halos (now I know why) and fixed them with Affinity Photo using the exact method you described. Great result.

[@vladepast4936]

It will work for very limited number of subjects, if the subject (a very dark mountain, almost black like in your example ) is darker than the sky but if it is not, then the subject is effected too. thank you for sharing...

[@margaretchurchill5775]

Hi Casper, just found you and watched with much interest. Had this problem, and yes have used the clone stamp, after hours, still not happy. Well, you have made my day. I am in a local photography club, would have had a higher score in a competition if I had erased the line round a mono print. Thank you for your brilliant explanation on this. Shall be looking forward to watching more.

[@paulcookphotography]

Wonderful tutorial Caspar! Very well explained and informative! This is probably the easiest technique I've seen for removing halos! Thank you! I look forward to seeing more of these tutorials from you. Hope you are doing well and staying safe!

[@CasparLootsmann]

Glad I was of help :) ! Will do these editing videos a bit more now as work has taking up a lot of my time. Thank you !

[@sundeepsembi6091]

Thank you this was really helpful

[@bab008]

Just choose the AUTOMASK option and brush a subtraction along the halo. Zaps it quickly in Lightroom w/o having to go to Photoshop or make tiny mask corrections.

[@paulkennedycreativemedia]

I had this issue a good few months ago with an image. It’s such an annoying thing to happen. But this video fixes it perfectly. Great explanation.

[@CasparLootsmann]

Thank you, Paul! It can be annoying and sometimes you think you do everything perfectly on location and it still can happen. I thought most people knew this trick but then my friends asked how to fix it and i obliged by making a video :D Than you for watching!

[@warrenlloyd7532]

Excellent video Caspar. I've had this problem for a while with some of my images and this video explains how to fix the problem extremely well

[@CasparLootsmann]

Thank you Warren :) ! Glad i could help.

[@RauriBarron]

Really great tutorial mate, nice easy technique to fix those issues. Great work 💪

[@CasparLootsmann]

Thx mate! :) Really appreciate it !

[@AndrewHamiltonPhotography]

Seeing Iceland and Tenerife makes me want to travel again Caspar !! I’m not so good in LR and PS so these are really useful for me and I’ve definitely learned something new today so thank you 🙏🏻

[@CasparLootsmann]

Hey Mate, yeah had the same feeling! We just need to hold on :) Super glad to hear that this video helped you! That is the best thing i can hear, as i have a full time job i figured these kind of videos are a bit faster for me to make in the time i cant find time to go out vloging :) Thank you!

[@tonymckeage1028]

[@CasparLootsmann]

Thank you Tony! :) Hope it helps out in the future! Thank you for watching

[@paalbreie]

Oh man, this is so brilliant - whish I had known earlier. I have wasted so many hours making imperfect halo fixes :D Thank you so much, you got a new subscriber 👍👍

[@CasparLootsmann]

Thank you ;) glad i could help. I hope i will get back to making videos soon :)

[@jean-pierrenadeau4007]

Casper you saved my life. Now if you could do a tutorial on how to avoid these fringes in the first place. Maybe you already did, I'll go check. If not, it would be much appreciated.

[@williammacbeth5093]

[@GusMcCrae01]

Excellent technique for removing the pesky halos.

[@CasparLootsmann]

Thank you mate :)

[@seersaabaza2388]

thank you for this video, just a note, it took u 6 five minutes to start talking about the actually information. kind request to make ur videos more to the point

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

How are you cloning from an empty layer? I can't do that at all... you don't have nothing to sample of.

[@kolossimike]

There's a tool options drop-down menu at the top of the screen, just underneath the menu bar. Change it to Sample: This layer and below or Sample: All layers.

[@CasparLootsmann]

Thank you for replying ;) Was off for vacation with family :)

[@kolossimike]

@@CasparLootsmann My pleasure. I'd never seen this method of removing halos before. Good stuff.

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

@@kolossimike Thanks 🙏🏼😊😊👌

[@alenferina7381]

It does not work. You can still see repaired areas where you cloned. It will look bad in print.

[@PeterQuentercrimsonbamboo]

just need to be a bit more precise and discriminate with the clone-sample areas - the principle does work well - have used this method, too, for several years, on all kinds of images... landscapes, city scapes with building edges with strong halos from converting to black-white plus sharpening, portraits,... however, it still becomes problematic with silhouetted tree branches against a bright sky... the maze and complexity of halos on a tree silhouette does require different approaches than following each outline manually -

[@roberthall6886]

9:00 I just saved you 9 minutes of your life.

[@rogerbeltz2370]

One suggestion: When you first begin explaining what halos are and what causes these, you might try showing an example "on screen" so people can see exactly what you mean. Then you can proceed to explain the various methods you can use to get rid of these halos. Just a suggestion my friend. Don't forget to mention that sometimes over sharpening an image can sometime cause halos. Suggest you do less talking and concentrate on the showing viewers the procedures. Less talk and more action - better. I want to refer my fellow photographers and PS users to your video

[@CasparLootsmann]

Hi Roger, thank you for the great feedback :)! Will be back from a looong hiaitus in a couple of month and will take not of your points! Thank you so much!

[@oneeyedphotographer]

Full of tedious waffle. I want to learn how to deal with the white halos I see occasionally in I don't want to know how you know or what a wonderful photographer he is or what you great great grandmother had for her last breakfast.
