The practical difference between CA and fringing is unclear too me. When looking at a photo I'm not able to distinguish between the two. So far I've been happy being an ignorant ;-)
I've seen many reports indicating that Ca is worse with DSRL. Therefore I have assumed that it also depends on the technique involved in the digitalisation. Am I wrong about that?

In essence CA occurs because the colours are split due to slightly differing magnification ratios across the colour spectrum. CA may exacerbate purple fringing (bloom) caused by high contrast and over-saturation of the sensor but they are essentially independent issues. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
