Thanks guys! I actually found a simpler solution: just select the aberration itself with the lasso/ free form select tool and desaturate. It didn't get rid of it completely, but it did decrease it to an almost indistinguishable level. Thanks for your help guys! (BTW I'm leaving this up for people wondering about chromatic aberrations). Thanks again! Alex.

Thanks for the plugin and compliment, but it didn't really help me. It just created more aberration. Is there some way that I can desaturate the cyan color around the border of the rock while keeping the cyan of the surrounding landscape, sort of like separating the foreground from the background and then desaturating it? I've heard that's one way to do it, but I just don't know how... Thanks again!

OK, thanks! By the way, a little update, the plugin that I use in GIMP does work very well. I just didn't test it enough. I'm only having trouble on this image because the color of the chromatic aberration is the same color as the water, so when I get rid of it, the water turns grey! lol. I'll be sure to try and do that.

Hey guys, I am new on here, and I wanted to ask you guys a question about fixing color fringing. I am an amateur photographer (I'm only a teen, lol) and recently got a Canon Powershot SX500 IS to take with me to Bermuda on vacation. I took some pictures, and when I looked back at them on my computer I noticed some color fringing. It's not very apparent from looking at the full picture, but when looking up close you can see it. I've tried using plugins for Paint.NET and have even bothered to try other image processing tools, but nothing so far. The best I could get was Darla's Plugin for GIMP, and that only helped a little. I tried the Conditional Hue/ Saturation plugin found on the only other thread about color fringing, and I couldn't seem to get it to work. Here is the photo (resized with a simple stamp) with the edges with fringing. Anything will be helpful! Alex
