What does radial mode do?

Radial mode increases red and blue channel separation with distance from the image center, producing stronger fringes near the edges.

When is the direction control used?

The direction control applies to linear mode. It sets the angle of the red-channel shift while the blue channel moves in the opposite direction.

What does zoom mode change?

Zoom mode scales the red and blue channel layers in opposite directions around the image center.

Mgawanyiko wa Rangi (RGB)

Chromatic aberration was originally a lens defect — different wavelengths focus at slightly different points, creating colored fringes. Pixlane reproduces it deliberately for retro / cinematic / glitch aesthetics. Pick radial (lens-like, fringes increase toward corners), linear (uniform R/B shift along an angle), or zoom (red layer scales up, blue scales down).

Chromatic Aberration

Create red and blue channel fringes for a lens-style or graphic RGB-split effect. Radial mode increases separation toward the image edges, linear mode shifts channels along a chosen angle, and zoom mode changes the channel scale around the image center.

Available Controls

Mode: radial, linear, or zoom
Shift strength: channel separation from 0 to 20 pixels
Direction: 0 to 359 degrees when linear mode is selected
Output format: PNG or JPG

How to Use Chromatic Aberration

Select an image — Choose the JPG, PNG, or WebP image to edit.
Set the channel shift — Choose a mode, adjust shift strength, and set a direction for linear mode.
Review and download — Inspect the preview, process the effect, and save the generated PNG or JPG.
