jakekei Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hello all, My wife and I went to Yellowknife in Canada to picture the northern light a few days ago. I borrowed my friend's Canon EOS 550D and the Sigma wide angle lens (10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM). We were lucky enough to see the great natural phenomenon. However, somehow in the middle of the photos, there are "rings" appeared. I don't know the exact cause but I think it is related to the lens. I attached a few samples and hope this will help to explain. I am a newbie in photo editing and I wonder is there a simple way to batch remove the "rings", plus some manual work to fine tune the final images in Affinity photo? The photos were shot in JPG and RAW. Will be really grateful if there is a way to fix it :-) //bow Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Holy [Colourful expression] ! Those look like Newton's rings. ( Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_rings ) I have seen them back when I would print 35mm negatives using a homemade glass carrier. It would be a camera thing, the sensor has a problem with the filter or covering ... I digress, you want to save/salvage your photos. Try the Inpainting brush. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakekei Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Thanks! I played with the brushes and able to fix the Newton's rings (it takes some efforts to do it though)! Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
