Thanks for trying it out and for the example pictures!

Just if you are interested and want to see something really horrible 
with both TCA and LCA (a white statue in the bright sun at f1.8):

What would be interesting for me, maybe you can take one more shot which 
shows some LCA and still has a bit more different colors in the picture 
if possible. Selectively desaturating the *right* parts can be a 
problem. I might also try to make some more pictures myself, 
specifically for benchmarking -- I probably don't have the best 
selection at the moment.

Ok, as far as I understood (correct me if I am wrong) in general LCA 
(Longitudinal/Axial CA) can be different colors (mostly green or 
magenta), as any wavelength can be affected by being at one side of the 
out of focus regions. I read 
http://wiki.panotools.org/Chromatic_aberration and 
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/04/new-color-fringe-correction-controls.html
 
- though they seem to use the terms a bit different, but it seems to be 
as follows:

Longitudinal CA = Axial CA = LCA
Lateral CA = Transverse CA = TCA

What I want to remove is the wavelength dependent focal length (LCA) 
issue that Adobe describes like:
"Fringes typically appear purple/magenta when they’re in front of the 
plane of focus, and appear green when they’re behind the plane"

In the panotools wiki they say "You would have to focus differently for 
red, blue or green.", where I first thought that it might be better to 
work on RGB instead of Lab space.

Maybe a slider between only purple and green would be better, or a green 
strength and purple strength. That would also increase ease-of-use.

I probably still need to experiment a bit further, let's see if I have 
enough time to get this in the next release, or only after it...

Best regards,
Dennis
