# Chromatic Aberration
22

3-
In photography, chromatic aberration is an effect resulting from a camera’s lens failing to converge all colors to the same point. It appears as “fringes” of color along boundaries that separate dark and bright parts of the image.

The **Chromatic Aberration** effect is used to replicate this camera defect, it is also often used to artistic effect such as part of camera impact or intoxication effects. This implementation provides support for red/blue and green/purple fringing as well as user defined color fringing via an input texture.

The Chromatic Aberration effect mimics the effect a real-world camera produces when its lens fails to join all colors to the same point. Unity provides support for red/blue and green/purple fringing, and you can define fringing colors by using an input texture.

You can create custom spectral textures in any image editing software. Their resolution is not constrained but it is recommended that they are as small as possible (such as the 3x1 textures provided).

Performances depend on the `Intensity` value (the higher it is, the slower the render will be as it will need more samples to render smooth chromatic aberrations).

Enabling `Fast Mode` is also recommended whenever possible as it's a lot faster, albeit not as smooth as the regular mode.
