Question

Lightroom Classic (or Photoshop) Removing Halos

I've spent over an hour looking for videos online and trying things out, but I have yet to find a simple way to REMOVE HALOS on so many of my images!  I usually wind up spending an hour cloning them out.  I just don't know what to do.  

 

I don't know if it's easier to do it in LrC or PS, but I just need help, as this is so very frustrating and I'm getting tired of doing this tedious cloning!

 

Thank you!

 

Diane

If the images are RGB (JPG, TIFF) then removing the halos (embedded in the pixel data of the image) will be near impossible without the frustration you mention.

Like you are "Up the creek without a paddle" and no tool, in either LrC or Ps, will do the job easily.

    Thanks.  Not a lot of them I'm considering using, but I work really quickly with cloning so I'll get through it a few times more.  Thanks again!

    We'll definitely need to see a photo to know what you mean exactly. Some camera and lens details too as there may be a solution before even getting to the post processing.

      What do you mean by halos?

       

      Let's see an example.

      @Keith Reeder  I assumed the OP is refering to this type of artefact- Can be caused by Over-Sharpening, or selective Brush Adjustments, or Masking that doesn't work so well.

      Sorry. No idea what that means. Not familiar with using this process.
      When I hit reply I'm in a "regular" email on my computer screen.

      Thank you.

      Let's try this.

      It could be advantageous to know 'Why' or 'How' the halos are being created in the first place.

      eg. Are you Over-sharpening?

      And there is a Photoshop Brush technique in this link-

      in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

       

      p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
