RobinMcL Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hello, I'm a beginner, making progress but slowly. I'm getting better at making selections, masks and layers but keep having the following problem. I'm working on a photo that was taken in terrible lighting conditions. Seascape, sea, islands far out and sky. I have made separate selections for the sky, the sea and all the land (foreground and islands). There are in separate layers with corresponding adjustments and each, separately, looks fine. However, when I view all together, there are "halos" between the sky and sea and sky and land. Is there a way that I can either avoid it in the first place or fix it now? I have looked through the book and tried many things but simply can't find anything that works. Best regards to all, Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVDB Photography Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Halos are caused by different handling. Such as : - excessive sharpening, clarity adjustment - chromatic aberration - brushes spillover (adjustments affecting wrong areas) ... In most cases, on a flattened image, to remove white halos, there's a quick way to fix it : - add a new pixel layer on top - change the blend mode to darken colour - select the clone brush and on the toolbar set Source to "Current Layer & Below" - hold the Alt key and click on the area you wish to begin sampling from - drag over the halo to paint the sample Remove white halos.mp4 Chris B 1 Affinity Photo 2.3.1 Laptop MSI Prestige PS42 Windows 11 Home 23H2 (Build 22631.3007) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
