Yes on all points.


Yup for the most part. Some of these halo's are actually movement of the out of focus branches behind the birds. The JPEG conversions and in camera sharpening caused a lot of the other little issues.

This is why I'm shooting more and more in RAW for everything. I don't care for the exaggerated colors in JPEG and I REALLY don't like the in camera sharpening. It's always far to strong.

I'm going to go back and fix the shot with the noise in it. I'll post it here and you guys (and girl ) can tell me if it was worth the effort.

This one was easier for me than your NTT posts... my music wheelhouse is a decade or so earlier than most your your NTT subjects.

Look forward to seeing the results. I just watched a tutorial on how to easily remove halos like these a few days ago but don't recall the exact technique. I think it involved using "Defringe".

Out for the day and have a shoot tonight of the Dallas skyline, so hopefully something to share. Shooting from Trammell Crow park, Wendy.

Will check back in tomorrow.
