did someone notice green CA? I've got it on my canon 50/1,4, here's example

I thought, that CA should be red, violet, or just colors from the end of color spectrum and green is right in the middle...
thanks for any ideas.

This is longitudinal CA, which is different from the usual transverse CA that ACR can correct.

Basically things behind and in front of the image plane will have color fringes of different colors.

I don't use ACR because I have feeling, that it's too slow. I use LR and there's quite difficult to correct this CA

CA can be any color and the cure is stopping down.

The CA corrections in ACR are the same as the ones in Lightroom, and neither of them will help with longitudinal CA.

I believe that there is magenta CA in that image as well, it's just that there is a lot of red in the image and the fringe is less noticeable.
