So every so often, I end up with a photograph that has some edges that really "glow" and I'm not sure why. I was wondering if someone could tell me why this happens and how to avoid it? Also, I'm tired of doing some long anf tiring bullshit in gimp to fix, is they any way to fix this in lightroom? But mainly, I want to know why it happens so I can shoot and never have to deal with it in post processing. Thanks in advance. And pic related.

Shameless self bump.
Also no sharpening or clarity was used. I know that is usually the cause, but not I this case. I did not increase the exposure or anything in post processing either. It only happens every so often. It did not happen on my other shots in the same place with same settings.
Are you shooting JPEGs in hdr mode? If you are, STOP

No, I am shooting RAW, and not hdr mode

Check Picture Control, I have my Nikons set to Neutral which will give you an almost true exposure.
You might still have to go into the Neutral setting and set the sharpening to 0 as I did.
However, that image still looks 'sharper' than default. Disable D-Lighting if ON.

Thanks, but D-Lighting is off and I have mine set to Neutral already. Haha. Other than higlights, shadows, whites, and blacks, nothing has been changed in this image.
>>2901065
you're pushing into hdr territory.
it can't be helped.

This anon speaks truth
When I use my kit lens from D3300 I immediately notice flares and aberration.

Chromatic aberration causes the mysterious glow, but it can be fixed (or reduced) by either buying a lens with fluorite and related-mixture glass elements, or more cheaply if you step down the aperture of your lens by a stop or two. It usually is worst when the lens is wide open.
