Typical Serbian Christmas meal, each described with note. Photo done by stacking of 4 photos. Candle tilted in real, however some PD within glasses. PD correction didn't work nice, also due to narrow crop so I left it original.
The Photographer no longer sees the picture, just the CA. -- Colin (talk) 19:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree, the CA on the bottom left is stronger and worth tackling, whereas the "CA" that The Photographer has been edit-warring on the file-description-page to keep is essentially sub-pixel. -- Colin (talk) 08:13, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done CA removed, good observing Julian, haven't saw it earlier. The Photographer - I really cant help there, I cant see any CA there, if you could be more precise I could solve. --Mile (talk) 14:22, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
At the Candle edge and over the scarf skirt bottle you can see chromatic aberration, ie an aura of green and red. Still there --The Photographer (talk) 15:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's actually still strong CA in a few places in the highlights of the silverware. But on the candle and napkin the CA is at perfectly acceptable levels. The Photographer, sub-pixel-peeping a 16MP image is disruptive. Please stop. It will only encourage people to upload downsampled images and then Commons is the loser. If you want perfection, I'd be grateful if you could buy me a Zeiss Otus for my birthday. -- Colin (talk) 18:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I am absolutely against perfection because it kill artistic pictures. However, I Will not a beginner's and important error pass becasue the Featured Pictures are the best pictures of commons. Somebody asked me a question and I answered. This error is perfectly correctable in one click with lightroom or photoshop and with some more in gimp. I do not understand how something so easy to fix can be this problematic. This error that you consider negligible, would not have passed the requirements of image quality (see image quality section in commons). If we allow this kind of easy corrected mistakes to pass, we should rethink about this section requirements. This section should use the requirements of quality images (and more), but now is being considered a section with lower requirements. I doubt that this would have happened in QIC. --The Photographer (talk) 18:33, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You are making a "beginner's error" in thinking the amount of CA on that candle is in any way important. And this sort of fussing is harmful. Software tools can't guarantee to remove all CA and certainly not all kinds of CA and they do so by altering the image, which can be harmful to colour accuracy elsewhere in the picture. And such CA can only be fixed by the creator who has access to the source uncropped image and ideally the RAW file. Attempting to fix CA by editing a JPG or a cropped JPG may actually do much more harm than good. By all means point out minor flaws as a suggestion, but withholding support on the level of issue you annotated is rude and ignorant. -- Colin (talk) 18:57, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done red CA removal at serviette. Hope satisfied now, did it at 400%. I should say in start - photo is at full crop, no downsizing and hiding like some could or would do. Pixel peeping (among PD) is often done by hardcore begginers but its more domain on dpreview fanatics, but with time it come to normal behaviour. Judge with tolerance full sized photo, be harsh on downsized one. Have a margin for compact camera owner, and other for full frame owner. That would be my advice. --Mile (talk) 18:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Every CA still there. I added another note, you can see strong chromatic aberration. I really love this image, If you wan, I could try fix it, send me a mail. --The Photographer (talk) 19:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I make so bold. I uploaded a version with chromatic aberration fixed, if you dont like this version, you could simply revert --The Photographer (talk) 22:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your version was based on an old upload so I've reverted it. Mile had already uploaded an improved version (with other quality improvements overall such as to background and stacking). His version doesn't eliminate the CA entirely but the worst bits are now much reduced. -- Colin (talk) 14:38, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
