How can I prevent haloes in the original picture?

[Pilot8998]

Hello,

I am using the Nikon D7200. I usually use the Mode "A" (for Canon user it is "Tv") with f/9 and sometimes a correction of the exposure by -0.3 up to -1.0.
However I often get some black haloes around the aircraft which are visible in the equalized version of the picture. I already switched of the "D-lightning"-feature
of my camera which normally results in haloes.

Here is one example - please disregard the dust spots - I only changed the framing during postprocessing. That is why the picture can be seen as original from the camera.

Thanks for your help!

Regards
Julian

If you already turn off the D-Lightning it may be something in your post processing workflow. Did you change the shadows and highlights? Also...you can read Brian`s topic about Halos: https://forums.jetphotos.com/showthr...ips-and-tricks

Hello Vinicius!

I took this picture in the equalized mode before postprocessing. I always use the JPEG files in FINE-quality of my Nikon. Could it be the Picture-Control-Settings in my camera which caused this effect?

Hi,
Please check the post below. I added a link to a youtube video and Brian Tutorial on how to get rid of them.

Some more info:
-I have a D7200 too, and works great!!! I shoot in RAW only. What you describe as using f9 will help you to avoid vignetting, but not halos.
-Halos appear as a result of modifying brightness, contrast, shadows, etc. in your post software, especially when abusing them. So you have 2 options:

1. Work separate layers in Photoshop. One for the AC and another for the background (sky). This is if absolutely you need to use brightness/contrast/etc to adjust your picture. Brian's tutorial is all about this.

2. Use this method:
1.Exposing correctly the picture (we knew that )
2.Cropping and correcting white balance in Lightroom (or PS sure) and then modifying contrast and light in Photoshop BY USING THE CURVES tool. No halos!!! just a bunch of dust spots that need clean up anyway. The curves tool is the cleanest way unless of course yo go too far.

I hope this helps.
