What is Color Fringing, Why it happens and How to Fix it in Photoshop | Chromatic Aberration 101

We've all been there, the dreaded blue, green, pink or purple fringing appearing in our photographs, but what is it, what causes it, how can we avoid it and then the main question, how can we fix fringing in photoshop? All of those questions are answered in this video.
Fringing is a name for a type of chromatic aberration and in today's video, we're going to explore what it is and how you can attempt to avoid it from happening. Then, we use a real-life example of bad fringing and fix it in Photoshop. You could do the same fringing fix in Lightroom if you wanted to!
There is a blog post on this topic, that's here: www.thattogspot.com/what-is-f...

Well explained. This Video deserves more views tbh

[@pattymattes7124]

That's the first time I've seen green and purple in the same image. Thanks for another great video!!!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thanks for watching!

[@tofuprius3384]

Great as always! Thanks Jess!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

You're so welcome. Thank you for watching 🙏

[@susantait6550]

Thanks Jess, I never knew the reason for fringing, super helpful :-)

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Happy to help!

[@Stellifant]

Great video, thanks!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

You are welcome 😊

[@eoslove2022]

My physics teacher could not have done a better job! Thanks, Jess.

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Anytime!

[@LBusse1463]

Thank you Jess! Whiskey was happy to be used as a great example of fringing! I now know what caused it (shooting wide open with my 135mmn 1.8 lens in high contrast, text book cause of fringing!) and how to fix it if it happens again!)

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Wahooooo!!!!

[@elsdecoodt8685]

Finally had time to watch it! For my Btog you also said: way too much fringing. And since I wasn't the only one you went to make a video of it: thanks! I used my 24mm lens (in a train), so yes, no in-between. This was certainly very usefull, just like all the others. Thanks Jess!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thank you so much for the feedback 😊

[@roxanehugues7837]

Super interesting, thanks a bunch!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@juliantalbot9207]

Thanks! You're a life savior!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thank you so much 🙏 so pleased it helped

[@videoluvr2]

Thank you very much, Jess. I have been working on capturing less fringing but I do have some older images that I need to fix. This information that you have shared will help me quite a bit.

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

That's great to hear, thank you so much for the feedback Michael 🙏

[@videoluvr2]

@@ThatPhotographySpotI'm new to your channel. This video just showed in my feed. I'm glad I noticed.

[@michaellkovacs]

Thanks for this great video.

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Glad you liked it!

[@charlieross-BRM]

Good! I stopped upgrading at PS CS6 so the features are a bit different but I located it and got results. I also made a comparison with using HSL and killing all Magenta and all Green - 0 Saturation and 100% (maxed) Lightness. You can't get away with that globally on many images but for trouble spots it's good to know about. In CS6 the HSL method produced more reduction against a light sky. Fringing bothers me most on posts, metal structures and overhead wires against the sky. By their nature those features don't contain much colour to begin with so no harm done.

[@Lumiere-photographyCoUk]

I didn't know why it happened, thank you x

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rizatamin]

Nice video as always.btw,do you still have/use your 135mm GM? I wonder what are your tought about it after a few months having it.im planning on getting it or 70-200mm GM II but considering i tend to use at 135/200 on that lens makes me wonder if 135 gm would be a better choice.

[@dhk7830]

Thank you ✨

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

You're so welcome 🙏

[@ExploreCroatia]

Thanks!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

No problem!😊

[@daemon1143]

Nice easy way to deal with it, taa. The other circumstance where you get a lot of chromatic aberration is when using extension tubes or bellows to increase magnification in macro photography, even with excellent glass, because you've moved the lens rear element away from it's designed ideal focal plain.

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thanks for adding this, great comment 😊

[@wenckek7992]

Super!

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thank you very much!

[@freyafoxmusic]

Ya even with a good lens it doesn’t always fix. Had it happen on my sigma 24-70mm art

[@bethhostetler5214]

First of all I love all you videos. What I have been doing when I notice fringing is instead of using the eyedropper I just go to the purple slider and drag it all the way to the right and do the same with the green slider. Is that a bad way to get rid of fringing? I never knew about the eyedropper trick.

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thank you so much 🙏 and no it's not a bad way this is ok too 👌

[@cosmicfoxglove1047]

Thanks for this. I have a lot of problems with my Nikon 85mm prime lens which has way more chromatic aberration than I was expecting. My problem is when I remove the fringing, it also messes with anything else that is the same colour on the image. I took a photo of some hens and the fringing was exactly the same pinky red colour as their combs, so if I removed the fringe, it would remove colour from the hens. What do I do in that case? Do I do layers and masks?

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

exactly right 👌 layers and masks

[@JEn-mq6vn]

before seeing those fringing looks kinda cool and I think it is shot on purpose, and now that Im behind the camera, this just looks bad

[@dingogirl2006]

This was very usefull... But just so i understand it right... it will show up if my F number is .. lets say my lens is 70-200 and i shoot on 200mm and my f is 2,8... Schould i then set the F to 4 in sted or how??

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

It's not always going to occur when shooting at those settings but if it was to occur then I would try altering my F number 🤓 Hope this helps.

[@user-ps7yy4ci5s]

I use Photoshop CC and I can't find the tab that you use for de fringing. What should I do?

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Head into Filter -> Camera Raw Filter and you’ll find a mini Lightroom inside photoshop 🙌
