Chromatic Aberration

Description:

Chromatic aberration refers to the optical phenomenon of color distortion that occurs when different colors of light do not converge at the same point after passing through a lens or optical system. It happens due to the inability of lenses to bring all wavelengths of light to a single focal point, causing a visual blurring or fringing effect around the edges of objects.

Senses:

Sense 1:

(Noun) An optical defect causing color fringes or blurring on an image due to the failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point.

Example Sentence: The photographer had to digitally correct the chromatic aberration in the photograph to remove the purple fringing around the subject.
