Chromatic Aberration

Chromatic Aberration — how it works

Split red, green and blue channels for a lens-fringe or 3D-glasses look.

What chromatic aberration is

Real lenses bend red, green and blue light by slightly different amounts, so the colors don’t land in exactly the same place and edges get red or blue fringes. Photographers usually remove it; designers add it on purpose for a raw, filmic or futuristic look.

Distance and angle

Distance sets how far the red and blue channels move apart; angle sets the direction. Small shifts read as an imperfect vintage lens, large ones as a glitch or an old 3D anaglyph.

Where it works

Music covers, gaming and tech visuals, poster typography and hero images. Combine it with film grain for an analog feel or with the glitch effect for a broken-signal aesthetic.
