Abstract

A method, and digital capture apparatus for use therewith, is described for correcting a channel dependent color aberration in a digital image, where the digital image is composed of a plurality of color channels. The method includes capturing an image comprising the color channels, where one of the color channels is a blurred color channel due to a channel dependent color aberration affecting that channel. Then, one of the other color channels, other than the blurred color channel, is used as an indication of an aim sharpness, and the sharpness of the blurred color channel is adjusted, at least partially, toward the aim sharpness.
