flare removal

[Chris Wright]

an optical lens problem like chromatic abberation?

You could try keylight on it, then use that as a track matte then hue/saturation reduce saturation to just those pixels to blend them back in, or if it’s really bad then clone brush to fill in the missing pixels.

Not really possible to answer this question without at minimum a still image… video would be better.
