Chromatic aberration, also called "colour fringing" or "purple fringing", ...

Chromatic aberration
The inability of a lens to bring all light wavelengths (particularly red & blue) into the same plane of focus, thus causing overall blur. Usually found in regular large-aperture telephoto and super-telephoto lenses.

Chromatic aberrations (CAs) manifest as unwanted colour banding, especially around high contrast edges. They occur when a lens bends some colours of light more than others, resulting in disperison. Lenses are designed to minimise CAs.

If you have ever looked through cheap children's binoculars the effect of chromatic aberrations will be all too familiar to you.
This 'purple fringing' can sometimes be found on digital cameras as well.

Chromatic aberration
A lens aberration producing an overall blurred image; the inability of a lens to bring all wavelengths of light (especially red and blue) into the same plane of focus; ...

Chromatic Aberration A phenomenon in which light rays passing through a lens focus at different points, depending on their wavelength.

Chromatic Aberrations - Color distortions that are a result of failure to evenly focus the lens.
Chrominance - The difference between a color and a specified reference color having a specified chromaticity.

Chromatic Aberration & Purple Fringing
All super zoom cameras suffer from some fringing (though Panasonic's processing removes it before you ever see it), and this camera's predecessor (the H5) was the worst offender.

Chromatic Aberration
The inability of a lens to focus different colours on the same focal plane. Appearing as a 'colour fringe' around objects, especially at the edges of the photograph.

Chromatic Aberration
A fringing effect around the edges, which is caused by lens not focusing correctly.

chromatic aberration:
Also known as color fringing, this problem is caused when the camera lens do not focus the different wavelengths of light onto the exact same focal plane.

Chromatic Aberration - Also known as the "purple fringe effect." It is common in two Megapixel and higher resolution digital cameras (especially those with long telephoto zoom lenses) when a dark area is surrounded by a highlight.

Chromatic Aberration. Also known as purple fringing. It is fairly common in 2MP digital cameras and above, especially if they have long telephoto lenses. You can see it when a dark area is surrounded by a highlight.

Chromatic aberration. An image defect, often seen as green or purple fringing around the edges of an object, caused by a lens failing to focus all colors of a light source at the same point.

Chromatic Aberration: In photographic or lithographic process lens, the result of the unwanted dispersion of light so that colors of the white light spectrum are focused on slightly different distances on a single plane.

Chromatic Aberrations, Fringing, & Flare
I did not notice any aberrations or fringing in the 100% crops of the photos that I took, and the photos pointing toward the sun did not have any significant flare. Well done, Panasonic! ...

-Chromatic aberration - inability of a lens to bring light from the same subject plane but of different wavelengths to a common plane of image or focus.
-Chromaticity - objective measurement of the color of an object or light source.

Chromatic Aberration
Also known as color fringing, chromatic aberration occurs when the collective color wavelengths of an image fail to focus on a common plane.

Chromatic aberration Edit
Chromatic aberrations are reduced by using elements made of different varieties of glass.

Chromatic aberration
Sensor effects:
Chromatic aberration in each CCD cell (microlenses)
Digital noise in dark areas
Image processing and interpolation artifacts (almost all CCDs require considerable processing inside the camera) ...

Chromatic Aberration
This effect often occurs in digital cameras of two megapixels or more, using a long telephoto lens. It can be seen as a ring of purple color separating a dark area of a picture from a light area that surrounds it.

Chromatic Aberration
A fringe or outline of any color generated when the lens does not focus all light waves at the same focal point.

Chromatic aberration and purple fringing are two distortion effects that can negatively affect photographs. There are a couple of things you can do to minimize these effects.

chromatic aberrations
Every lens, to a greater or lesser extent, focuses the light of different wavelengths onto different focal planes and magnifies it differently.

The Chromatic Aberrations Correction module, which is available for licensing, provides functions which automatically correct aberrations, minimizing the circle of confusion. It is the only available technology for completely automatic CA correction.

Under Chromatic Aberration set the following:
Red / Cyan - compensates for red/cyan color fringing.
Blue / Yellow - compensates for blue/yellow color fringing.
Defringe - choose Highlight Edges or All Edges to see what produces the better result.

Correct chromatic aberrations, vignetting, minor distortion.
Correct anything that was not fully handled in raw conversion.

I also tick "Reduce chromatic aberrations" and "Reduce noise".
Next, if you have any objects that were moving between your three shots, you will need to tick "Attempt to reduce ghosting artifacts", "Background movements.

At the B setting, the shutter remains open as long as the shutter release button remains fully depressed.

The lens used in a color enlarger must be free of chromatic aberration; that is, it must be a color-corrected lens.

Chromatic aberration or Axial chromatic aberration - different wavelengths of light coming into focus in front of and behind the film plane, resulting in points of light exhibiting a rainbow-like halo and reduction in sharpness ...

Chromatic aberration: The inability of a lens to bring light of different colors to a common point of focus.
Circle of confusion: Disks of light in the image produced by a lens from a point source of light.

"APO" elements (UD, SUD, CaF2, LD, SLD, ED etc.) improve contrast and sharpness by reducing chromatic aberration (color defects) that usually occur in tele lenses.

made up of many colors which results in a sixth aberration, Chromatic Aberration .

Many are cheap and poorly-made and can cause distortion, chromatic aberration, and other problems and are often quite soft, especially on the edges, as you've found.

It did a great job of correcting the consequences of lens defects such as barrel and pincushion distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting and blur, but there was no way I could justify buying it.

I've recently found the aligning feature for image stacks is far superior in CS5 to the tonemapping software, as is the chromatic aberration removal in Adobe Camera Raw. So my workflow and overall IQ is improved over what it used to be.

A similar affect is called Chromatic Aberration. These effects are caused when you shoot a subject that is strongly back lit. All lenses can have this problem...

Checking Enable Lens Profile Corrections also will allow you to access three sliders-Distortion, Chromatic Aberration and Vignetting-for manually fine-tuning the results.

A lens corrected for chromatic aberration (color fringing) at three wavelengths in the visible spectrum.

This lens has lots of chromatic aberration. I correct most of it in the RAW converter through profiles automatically. If you shoot jpg straight from the camera, this may become an issue for you.

spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, barrel distortion, pincushion distortion, and diffraction). All lenses have design and material limitations. Thus, the camera optics distort (i.e., manipulate) the scene that is captured.

New features in this release include a redesigned and more powerful Lens Correction tool enabling correction of barrel and pin-cushion distortion, as well as chromatic aberration and vignetting.

The drawback is a loss in dynamic range of the image and the dreaded purple fringing (sometimes erroneously referred to as "Chromatic Aberrations") of overexposed portions of the image.

If the photographer is the proper distance from his subject, he can minimize possible light and chromatic aberrations.

Red and blue colors are perceived at different depths. This effect is due to the chromatic aberration of the eye (light of different wavelengths is refracted differently).

There's also a Lens tab for fixing chromatic aberration and a Calibrate tab for adjusting specific colors. Some cameras may routinely impart a particular color cast to all the images and the Calibrate tab is the place to fix that.

One of the most significant warping factors is that different colors of light bend differently when moving through a lens. This chromatic aberration essentially produces an image where the colors are not lined up correctly.

Three common types of optical distortions that exist, particularly in wide angle lenses, are: Barrel distortion (where straight lines seem to bow out, as if around the sides of a barrel), Chromatic Aberration (where blue fringing is present), ...

Technically, a lens distortion that's caused by limitations of optics is an aberration, but usually that term is reserved for defects such as chromatic aberration (where colors focus at different points), ...

The advantage of such DO elements is that they do a very good job of reducing chromatic aberration (colour fringing), a particularly significant problem in long telephoto lenses.

That’s as far as I go if I plan on working the image in PS. Otherwise I might make curves adjustments, sharpening and noise adjustments. Occasionally I run into vignetting or chromatic aberrations that benefit from the lens adjustment tab but ...

Finally I replaced the kit lens with a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS (£345), because the kit lens produces some artifacts like chromatic aberration that were tedious to remove in Photoshop.

The image might be sharp in the center, but at the edges there would likely be spherical aberrations (where objects that are supposed to be round are recorded more as an elongated ellipse) and chromatic aberration (where the colors are separated as ...
