Hi Hans,
Sander is the name, new to this intrigueing forum. (Not sure if there is an 'introductory board', but I'll find some time to introduce myself a bit more lengthily in a different topic
About the lavarocks: is it just me or is the halo exactly the same in the third picture compared to the second one ? The two pictures look very similar, if not exactly the same over here on an, admittedly bad, monitor. Is there maybe a mixup in the uploads ?
I do understand and have encountered the mentioned problem with the halos in LR and I use the same workaround when needed.
Like the Sunrise Road image a lot and the one you used to highlight (
) the LR halo-problem as well and there's some very nice images on your site too.
Best Regards, Sander
The third version is the same as the second but only that I put a radial filter around the second rock and increased highlights around it and it made the halo go away. Notice the dark halo is nowhere else in the picture.
