Fixing Chromatic Aberrations (That Colored-Edge Fringe)
Chromatic aberration is a fancy name for that thin line of colored fringe that sometimes ap-
pears around the edges of objects in photos. Sometimes the fringe is red, sometimes green,
sometimes purple, blue, etc., but all the time it's bad, so we might as well get rid of it.
Luckily, Camera Raw has a built-in fix that does a pretty good job.
Step One:
Open a photo that has signs of chromatic aberrations. If they're going to appear, they're
usually right along an edge in the image that has lots of contrast (like along the edges of
these structures).
