Removing the color artifacts from these branches

I'm not sure why it came out of the camera with the branches lined in purple and green, but it was a legit opportunity to use the HSL / Color / B&W panel in Lightroom to fix it. They are much too pronounced.
The colors weren't anywhere else in the image, so reducing the saturation of each color all the way to zero didn't affect anything else.





That's chromatic aberation caused by the lens. A dark object against a white sky, or visa versa, will almost always do this to some degree. The better the lens the less noticiable it is.
Great job fixing this in Lightroom. I'd have so much trouble finding the right tools. LOL.
Ah, so then this lens sucks. :-P
I would normally check the 'Remove Chromatic Aberration' but didn't do that here, just tried that though and it didn't do anything to remove the purple or green.
The individual color adjustments are useful, and the few times I've used it was to enhance colors, so it was cool to see how well it works to remove them.
Here's a screenshot of where to make the adjustment in the panel:
I'm on HSL, then Saturation, then move the sliders. I go to the extremes first to make sure the adjustment doesn't affect more than the area I'm working on.
My kit lenes are horrible and just using the "Remove Chromatic Aberation" option in Adobe Camera Raw, though better than it used to be, often needs the same kind of help in Photoshop as you do here in Lightroom.
Well, a good 70-300mm lens would cost a shit ton of money, so I'm still happy with it. I will aim at shooting to avoid aberration.
Yes, which is why I still use my kit lenses too.
