I took this with my Tamron 10-24 super wide angle with polariser but have some fringing on the extreme edges (particularly on the reeds on the left) where the focus is not so good. This I gather is a common phenomena with super wide angle lenses but I would like to limit it or remove if possible. I think it can be reduced by stopping down more but not sure. Any ideas please?

I realise that at this size you possibly can't see the fringing but would appreciate any common rule re this if there is one.

CA correction in DPP or ACR may be able to take care of it. My 24mm F1.4 suffers from it when wide open in high contrast lighting.

Agreed, it's Chromatic Aberration and it's normal on lenses like that. The good news is that it's usually predictable and most post-process tools know about it and can correct it.

What do you use to edit?

Thanks for the reply. As far as a polarising filter on a super wide angle lens, it is probably largely ineffective as I am now learn more fully that the angle may be 90 degrees at the centre of view to the sun, but obviously a super wide angle, by definition, is going to include more image either side of 90 degree consequently reducing the polarising effect. Simple when you think about it I guess!

However regarding the Chromatic Aberration, I use mainly Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2. I also have DPP, but never attempted to correct this before so any help appreciated.
Thanks again. :)

Edit:
I have looked at DPP installed on my Mac regarding the chromatic aberration and it has a facility to correct but it is greyed out for me. I have mislaid my original DPP pdf of the manual but speculate that this Tamron lens is not supported. Is this true?

In portrait orientation you'll have less horizontal FOV, therefore they sky is more uniform in color.

DPP is a Canon product, so supporting a Tamron lens is probably out of it's scope.

But Photoshop should still do it. Use Google to find out how.

DPP doesn't even support all of the Canon lenses.

ACR, at least the version with CS4 has CA removal, also, a routine in PS can be used. Let me know and I'll post the routine.

Thanks. I have just found this on Google. If your method is different please post.

Different method to try. I think trying different ways to find what works best for the particular capture is important.

Filter
*convert for smart filter
Filter
*Blur
**Gaussian Blur
****Radius 5 - 10 pixels
****press Okay
Right Click Gaussian Blur for that layer
Select: Edit Smart Filter Blending Option
Change Mode to color
Opacity 95 to 100

Experimentation for different needs. Use a layer mask to use it locally.
