Or it could have been made an either/or setting. If necessary to avoid confusion or coding difficulties it COULD have been renamed, though internally it could still work the same. It shouldn't have been strictly necessary to remove the old Defringe feature as it was implemented to add the new implementation, which addresses an entirely different (though nearby) set of aberrations. The way the new Defringe feature was implemented represents a departure from Adobe's philosophy of maintaining compatibility with old settings. It's worth pointing out that the old Defringe feature isn't available even under the PV2010 setting.When one tries to configure the new implementation to reduce de-Bayering color remnants - even with minimal settings - the negative side effects of the new method are much greater and more visible, making it unacceptable to be made a default setting.Thus the new implementation is not a superset of the functionality of the old. The new Defringe feature, even thyough it has more controls, simply CANNOT be configured to remove those same de-Bayering colored remnants as effectively as the old, simple Defringe: All Edges setting did.There's a thread around here somewhere in which I visually demonstrated the differences. My point is that the old simple Defringe setting, set to All Edges, worked very nicely to fight this common aberration. Specifically, the colored remnants from de-Bayering (what some call de-mosaicing) are what bother me. Let me be direct: The color-fringing that occurs on edges that concerns me is not addressed by the new implementation. Admittedly a small one, but a step nonetheless. But I don't need the description or justification to know that it represents a step backward in image quality. Thanks for the link, Anthony, and yes, I have already seen that. They actually *could* put it back, but honestly they seem too self-assured to admit that maybe a decision might have been wrong. I suspect the color fringing difference is responsible for the messages you're seeing.įrankly I find the way Adobe implemented this damned sloppy! All they would have had to do is leave the older Defringe setting in place and add the new functionality in order to maintain compatibility. The newer conversion algorithms in general, in 7.2 and newer, are also a fair bit slower under some conditions. There ARE fundamental differences in the algorithms between 6.7 / 7.0 and versions 7.1 / 7.2 - specifically in the area of Color Fringing reduction.Īdobe did a BAD thing and removed the Defringe setting (possible choices None, Highlight Edges, All Edges), and replaced it with a color range-based defringing feature that I'm sure they think is better, and offers more apparent configurability but simply doesn't work as well. I think I understand why they're putting up that message, and I suspect it would have put it up if you had Camera Raw 7.1 as well. Thanks for clarifying the problem, Flashtales1.
