Purple fringing occurs depending on your camera’s senor technology (most consumer cameras do create purple fringing), the quality of your camera’s lens, and contrasting edges in your shot. Chromatic aberration is the more technical name for purple fringing which is not always purple. There are three ways you can avoid purple fringing: put an Ultraviolet (UV) filter on your camera lens, buy better camera (Prosumer grade), or remove it in Photoshop.

Mac Rumors: Adobe Announces Photoshop CS3 Beta
“True to rumors, Adobe has announced a Photoshop CS3 Beta program available to customers with a serial number from either Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Creative Suite® 2, Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio, Adobe Design Bundle, Adobe Web Bundle or Adobe Video Bundle.”
“Adobe says the beta will expire soon after the formal release of Photoshop in Spring 2007. Final pricing is yet to be determined, however Photoshop CS2 currently is offered at $649 (full version, $169 upgrade).”
Imagine that I just got my company to poke out money for CS2 upgrade and know it looks like CS3 is just around the corner.
“AppleInsider adds to its previous report that they are currently expecting a Photoshop beta program to begin this Friday for current CS2 owners. Specifically, the program is said to be announced by Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen during the companys quarterly conference call, and will be limited to the standard edition of Photoshop rather than the entire Adobe Creative Suite.
ThinkSecret has also chimed in on the matter, saying similarly that the beta program would be limited to Photoshop. Also, while reports had said that Photoshop CS3 “simply flies” on Intel-based systems, ThinkSecret claims that much of that speed was attributed to OpenGL zooming, a feature that has been trimmed from the beta and may not even make the final release.”
