As RT user I can only quote @XavAL:
“Can’t say anything about darktable, but with a moderate use of the Defringe tool in RT5.8, the offending colors are gone.”

Photoflow again. This time I was inspired by @sis141 and tried a black and white version:

Yes I used RGB Filmic and You are correct the settings were wrong. Tried it without Filmic and I resolved the issue, but then made another copy and worked with Filmic until I got it. Thanks for your input.
I did reduce the sharpening and resolved the halo problem. The other problem was with RGB Filmic which I was able after many tries too resolve also.
Never heard of Photoflow and from its description it uses layers. I have dropped Photoshop and adopted Affinity Photo which I found excellent, plus it is available at an unbeatable price.
The price is quite beatable when you consider all the software here is without monetary cost. Further than dollars and cents, affinity products cost you your freedom to do as you please with the application.

I had in mind Photoshop Mica, and I am not losing any freedom.
Had a bit of a play with it too and gave it an ‘artificial’ focal point.
Darktable and Gimp.
Regarding the color fringing to me it looks like focus is a bit off (or the lens is pretty soft). I guess that results in longitudal chromatic aberiation which is not corrected by the Lens/CA corrections in darktable. Defringe might help, and so does careful processing not to make the problem worse.

Yes it does. Non-destructive layers with associated non-destructive opacity masks. If you come from the PS world, you might find it not too difficult to try out…
. This is my take. View it in a dark room. 
That cloud is distracting but I am embracing it.
Turn off the lights, zoom and enjoy!
Is there an experienced user here, who knows how to reveal the details of the mountain on the left side of the picture, and at the same time getting a decent result for the whole image ?
I have already posted my try with ART - not to happy with it. Tried darktable , not able to get a good result.

It can definitely be done, even without the halos:

Whether it should be done is a different question though.

It’s a good question…pretty difficult to get a good result no matter what software I’m using. I see you have done it in darktable. I have just tried it a few times.
