Title: Halos in Lightroom 4
Post by: Alun on May 02, 2012, 09:22:07 am

Is anyone else seeing halos around dark/light areas in LR4. They are particularly noticeable on say a sunset picture where you have a dark mountain meeting a bright skyline. I do use the Clarity slider but only as far as +10. Any thoughts?

I never saw this in LR3 (and I used to use +25ish for the Clarity slider)

Yes, I've been seeing something similar. It's as if LR3's haloes around lighter areas (eg clouds in a blue sky) are gone but in return we've got them around darker areas. I've only noticed it recently and am still trying to be sure what's happening.

... where you have a dark mountain meeting a bright skyline...

That scenario is easy... Just use a brush with negative Clarity.
