I took some photos last week and I am editing them now and I am noticing a purple/green color fringing on the photos. This does not appear to be chromatic aberration as it is happening in the middle of photos not on edges etc. I attached 3 images that show the spots which appear to glissen green/purple like an oil spill would.

 

Any Idea what is causing this? All shots taken with speed lights only in a dark room and the 56 1.2 @ 5.6 1/160th, ISO 200

Thanks for the reply. It is also happening on skin.

It can occur with subjects with fine parallel lines (like fabric and bird feathers for example).

 

Even without a lines:

It is basically an interference pattern. Wikipedia has a decent explanation of it (with formulas fir extra fun). Typically, you can reduce/eliminate it by slight changes to your position from the subject but sometimes it is pretty persistent.

 

I think there are plugins to reduce it but as you would imagine, they can be pretty heavy handed and you lose alot of detail. Best to avoid it.

 

Vidalgo,

Honestly, I don't really see it in the rock shot. Or at least it isn't something that couldn't be confused/passed off for natural variance in the rock texture and color. But, I imagine it can happen with fine details of all sorts, it is just alot easier with parallel lines which interfere easier.

 

The skin example is not as common in my experience but makes sense. If you look at your skin (particularly guy's skin and particularly on the hands) you have pretty visible lines. Definitely a bigger problem in fashion work where you are always dealing with fabric. It can totally destroy a good bird shot too.

    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
