On the same lens the fringing may appear to be worse on the K10D than the K100D in basic terms because there are physically more pixels covering the same area. The best way to combat it is to try avoid situations that encourage it. Removing it during post processing generally leads to some image degradation however the results are generally better than those where fringing is visible. The best way to tackle the problem is to apply minimal sharpening during RAW conversion, this will ensure that the edges of the offending areas don't become over processed and more difficult to remove. The offending areas can be selected using a color selection tool and used as a mask for selective de-saturation. The mask can be edited to exclude areas of a similar colour that you don't wish to be affected by the de-saturation. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
