Glowing Edges on Psuedo-HDR Photo?

Hi photo gurus. I'm a photography n00b. I'm comfortable with Photoshop so I've often done basic photo editing on my shots, but I just recently started shooting in RAW so that I can do more touchup tweaks.

I've been working on the pic below forever, and I'm reasonably happy with it... BUT, something I've done during the Photoshop edits has caused glowing edges around certain parts of the photo, especially the propeller vertical blade where it contrasts with the sky.





Hoping someone can tell me what the hell I did to cause this and either: a) tell me how to un-do it or avoid it in the future; or b) point me in the direction of a good RAW photo editing tutorial. Thanks in advance dudes.



PS. I realize that this pseudo HDR stuff is never going to look as good as a proper bracketed HDR shot, but on this particular day I only had one memory card and needed it to last for an entire day at the airshow.

that glow around the propeller is called chromatic aberration and it can be corrected when you first process the raw file. you can make adjustments in the lens calibration tool palette in the camera raw converter. the reason why CA is overly visible in your file is, because every adjustment you made in photoshop enhanced it and make it more obvious. there is no way to correct it now unless you paint in the sky colour to cover the CA.

Awesome, thanks. Much appreciated.

I'm thinking I may start reprocess the RAW file and start from scratch anyway. The inconsistency of the colour temperature in the sky is irritating me.

In case anyone cares, here's the original JPEG version of that shot. #overexposure #amateur
