Chromatic Aberration not now a Live Filter


Recommended Posts

The title basically says it all.  Chromatic Aberration used to be a Live Filter, now I can only find an 'ordinary' filter.  This seems a backward step on the surface.  Is there some logic please?

I don't recall seeing it previously but what would be the point in having a live filter that has no adjustable features in it? If you have to use the Chromatic Aberration filter use it on a duplicate layer and then you can turn that on or off.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

But the old one did have sliders and a colour range too, Bruce, so it was live.  James Ritson showed how you could use it once for purplish aberration and do another layer in the same image for a blueish aberration.

I don't recall a CA live filter, but there was and is a Defringe Live Filter.

Oops, Ron, you are right.  James Ritson covered both Defringing and Chromatic Aberration in the same video and my memory failed me.

Just re-watched and he makes the very useful observation that you can "pass", pass, and pass again with the Chromatic Aberration Filter until the effect disappears (in the rare situations this is necessary).
