Have just taught myself how to use chromatic aberration fixer in paintshop pro. It works a bit.

Is it just me or do those seed pods look like a bunch of testicles hanging in the tree?

They are what we affectionately call "monkey balls". :D

For better results shoot in raw, as there is a drop down box in p/shop that helps with fringing.

love to but my old paintshop won't work with raw bugger it. Have to convert to tiff then work on it and the file size makes it very slow.

I'd like to correct one thing; it's not a matter of "better glass" as even very expensive lenses are plagued with this condition to varying degrees.

It's a matter of shooting high contrast at large apertures...usually the situation you posted about is very very tough to deal with.

Also, Lightroom will fix this pretty automatically also.

Sadly, it's a fact of lens life :(

Agree! I have the same issue with birds in flight shots. Its not really a camera or lens issue (Canon 40D, EF 400) - the edge contrast (body, feathers) when shooting into the sun or at a shallow angle is just too great. A polarizer helps but post proc is the best solution.
