The defringe module leaves a black (instead of blue) fringe which is 
almost as visible as the blue one (almost no matter what I adjust). But 
as I told, I'm interested in general opinions about my idea and not a 
solution for my particular picture, since I will find it myself if I 
need it (up to now there were no complaints, so I will not reprocess it 
unless I try something from this thread to learn darktable).

I checked the original raw in different converters/viewers and I was 
wrong with my first analysis: The color fringe is in the original image 
data, so it may be “real” CA from the lens. It only occurs at one high 
contrast edge in the image with brown rocks on the left and fully 
blown-out sky on the right. The fringe is a couple of pixels wide. Shot 
with Canon EF 24-105 f/4 L IS on an EOS 400D crop camera. It is not my 
picture, so unfortunately I cannot share it. I only had to post-process it.

With the CA module, the fringe changes color: blue -> psychidelic 
mixture, and this color mix fringe becomes visible on lower contrast 
edges as well when I toggle the module. The lens correction module was 
able to solve the problem, but introduced new problems somewhere else in 
the picture, as already described.

I never had problems with the CA module with my own pictures, even with 
the same lens as above on crop and FF sensors.

Best regards

Chris
