I had a beach fir last night and took some photos. When I looked at them on the computer, the base of the fire was a glowing purple instead of glowing orange. How would I fix this? :scratch

P.S. I have Photoshop Elements

    I think, not sure, that it is a cromatic aberation. I looked at it and used a change color option and some cloning. While this will take a little work I think it will do the job.

    The screen copy was way too small for me to do more that a quick test, or I would have posted the results.
