Have read enough of the posts to know that ED glass is the way to go ... and that other glass will give crazy colors ... my question is this

If you get the crazy colors will photshop take care of them? I would like to get into didgiscoping but money is tight right now and one of the expensive scopes is not an option.

Photoshop does a pretty good job of removing chromatic aberration and I used to do it a lot before I got an ED scope. The only time it can be hard to get rid of is if the the offending colour is also found naturally elsewhere in the photo. Easiest and effective way to remove the chromatic aberration is to use the eyedropper tool in the adjust hue/saturation option. Then desaturate the colour and the job should be done. If the colour is also found elsewhere in the photo then this will also be desaturated which is when it can be a problem. Also depends on how bad the scope is as to how effective this will be too.
