Landscape photography is synonymous with dynamic range. Deep shadows and bright highlights are in the scene and high contrast edges are common. These extremes of light and shadow that make the most compelling landscape images are also a recipe for a nasty side effect - halos. When a scene has high contrast edges, or when adjustments are pushed to exaggerate the differences between light and shadow, unattractive halos appear in your image. A halo can ruin an image. In this video, I’ll show you how to find out what is causing a halo, and how you can reduce halos and even remove them using ON1 Photo RAW.
