Halation produces unnatural colors in the picture.
This may be caused by
excessively bright
ultraviolet light on the
subject, such as sunlight
shining through the leaves
of trees, brightly lit
windows at night,
reflections off metal in
direct sunlight, etc.
●
Use a UV filter. As this may upset the overall
color balance, it should only be used under
the conditions described on the left.
●
Process the picture using a graphics
application that supports JPEG (Paint Shop
Pro, Photoshop, etc.). For example, after
picking up unnatural colors with an
eyedropper tool, etc., you can select color
areas, and try color conversion or saturation
adjustment. For details, refer to the manual
for the graphics application you are using.
