It was described as a line like color shift where a mid- or lower tone directly bordered a very bright highlight - in this case a window filled with daylight. Is there anyway, or any where, I can see this fringing? Has this been associated only with digital capture or has anyone seen it in scanned film as well? How prevelant is this artifact?
Never seen it on film but since I haven’t used film for years my memory may be wrong.
Fringing on say a window is different than the problem I’m experiencing on the slrn. Its common on digicams and can be thought of as light overloading an area of the chip & spilling out onto adjacent areas. Just like flaring on film.
The problem is a colour moire / fringing in (for example) tree branches – where thin dark lines are against a bright background. There is a red/magenta “staining” of (in my example) the sky behind. More accurately this staining is a visual impression of colour in that area. At 100% in PS checking with the densitometer reveals no significant spread of the fringing colour into adjacent areas.
Unfortunately having just moved, our broadband connection has temporarily ceased (as BT can’t organise a continuous service) so I cannot send large files but will happily send a crop of the offending area to anyone who asks off list.
Kind Regards
