Hello,

It's a nice example of what they call chromatic aberration in this case a cyan fringe appears in contrasty zones.(surrounding whites here). It comes firstly from the lens you are using and after the sensor ISO settings can be part of the phenomenon too. Some raw processing programs have correction tools for that kind of aberrations.

If you only have a JPG file is still possible to (color range) select the cyan tones  of the picture and slightly correct the effect with an adjustment curve too.

( IMHO I suspect (too) a non constant color temperature in the softboxes, and when you are making '"pack shots" ( pictures of objects, props ...), it's always good to use custom white balance based on a "gray" (or white) card to avoid color shifting.

I made a quick corrected version ( keep in mind it was quite early for me and the night was long)

I hope it will help you.

Peace.

Aegy
