Ever noticed rainbow-colored halos around the edges of objects in your photographs? This is known as chromatic aberration or color fringing. Typically, it’s only visible if you look really hard or zoom into an image, but in some cases it can be quite prominent.
Thankfully, modern lenses are extremely good at avoiding optical anomalies and distortions like chromatic aberration, so it’s far less prevalent than it used to be. In addition, the best photo editing software has gotten mighty good at removing it from photographs in one quick, via clever AI.
