•  Info Bubble coral (Plerogyra sinuosa), Red Sea, Egypt. The "bubbles", of up to 2.5 cm (1 in) in diameter, are grape-sized which increase their surface area according to the amount of light available: they are larger during the day, but smaller during the night, when tentacles reach out to capture food. This species requires low light and a gentle water flow. It ranges from the Red Sea and Madagascar in the western Indian Ocean to Okinawa and the Line Islands in the Pacific. Note: we have no FPs of the whole family Euphylliidae. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:18, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Question WOW, Cool! Do you mind to remove blue and yellow CAs on the edge, please?
  (The lower left part seems to be more affected by CAs) -- Terragio67 (talk) 08:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

• Terragio67: Good point,  Done, thank you Poco a poco (talk) 10:21, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment Please check the result again, Diego. At some places you have cloning errors now, original colour is replaced (notes added). -- Ivar (talk) 15:43, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

• Thanks for the notes, Ivar. It wasn't indeed so easy as I expected. By removing the CA in some areas it became in problem in others. I've uploaded a new version with a good (if not perfect) result overall. Btw the cloning came from the CA removal, this image has not been edited. Poco a poco (talk) 18:41, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Small tip If you can't get rid of all the CA without causing damage in other parts of the photo (this is a big problem with under-water photos especially), you don't clone things. Just use the Color Replacement Brush for the small areas of the pesky remaining CA. The brush is excellent for such minute corrections. --Cart (talk) 12:12, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment the area is still damaged, where CA wasn't present. -- Ivar (talk) 12:24, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

• Cart: Clearly, CA and colors in general is a big issue in underwater photography, I can tell you a thing or two about it, but this photo has been specially tricky. I've played around with the brushes (in Lr now called color range) along with the defringe, what do you think about the last version? Btw, I'm not sure what you mean with cloning, there is no cloning here or at least I haven't used the cloning tool. --Poco a poco (talk) 17:36, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
• Ivar: I reworked it from scratch, do you see any damaged area now? if you, could you add a note, please? Poco a poco (talk) 17:36, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

• Well, you wrote "cloning came from the CA removal" in your post, so it sounded like you had used a cloning tool. I was merely giving a tip. And yes, "CA" in under-water photos is very tricky. Many times it is not actual CA, only rainbow colors from light refractions around animals and things that occurs when light is behaving as it does in this environment. Most of the time, I think reviewers are way too critical about what they call "CA" in under-water photos. They see a fringe color and the knee-jerk reaction is to shout: CA! The latest version looks fine to me. It is what you'd expect from a dive photo. --Cart (talk) 17:52, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
