First go!
by Meerkatdawg » Sat May 21, 2016 12:07 am
Just purchased the program and am having a mess around. This was taken by my wife but I couldn't resist having a shot. Reasonably happy with it, but I think the lighting is a little off and there's a bit of light fringing around the logs on the far left hand side which is making it a bit false looking. Great tool for getting quick results or larking about with ideas though.

In general I don't 'get' black and white but this is one occasion where I have to say it works brilliantly. Regarding the white fringing...
- Did you replace sky? If so I find some of the 'authors' of sky effects have faded the sky at the bottom so it blends nicely with the original. Failing that, if you choose a sky that has less contrast with the original (where the images meet) then the fringing is greatly reduced. Of course lots of detail work will remove it. However....
- If you did not replace the sky then what you may be seeing is lens aberration where a dark area meets a bright area. If you look very closely at the original image you may see this fringing. And I find applying effects or generally 'photoshopping' (no matter what product - Photoshop, SPE, etc) can significantly make this lens aberration more obvious. If this is the case, then, once again, its down to hard work at a detail level to eliminate it.

Hi Richard
Thanks for your feedback. I did actually replace the sky and that was about the closest I could get to minimise the effect. It was only a five minute muck around though and I'm seriously impressed with the effects. I went for the black and white purely because in the situation it seemed the easiest option lol but there's nothing worse in my opinion than a photo completely overedited. Just getting into photoshop too...but this is great for building ideas quickly and sharing too for advice.
Cheers

Hi, in that case I reckon what you're seeing is lens aberration exaggerated by the replaced sky.
