Desaturating is not something you want to do to control color fringing. It will affect other colors as well. If processing in C1 they do have tools for this alone.
GMB--There is no reason to go to PS to do selective desaturation, as it can be done directly in Lightroom 3. Just use the Adjustment Brush Tool, with the Auto Mask box selected. Move the saturation slider to taste. Only the areas you wish to change will be affected by the brush. All other colors and areas in the image will be unchanged. It just takes a couple of seconds.Jack--Point taken. Fortunately, I am shooting these for fun and not for a paying client.
I may download a test version of C1 5 (or use the v 4.x which I still have) and try it.
Of course, I could also deal with the issue in PS and use a layer mask in order to apply desaturating selectively. Not something you would do 300 shots but for the 3-4 here doable.
My point is selective desaturation isn't something you should have to do at all in the course of dealing with "normal" images like these...Jack--Point taken. Fortunately, I am shooting these for fun and not for a paying client.
