Chromabba is an After Effects plugin that adds chromatic aberration the way a real camera lens creates it, instead of simply sliding the red, green and blue channels apart. It simulates how light bends around edges, so highlights and fine detail pick up soft color fringing like footage shot through real glass. Controls let you keep the effect subtle for realism or push it further for stylized work. Updated Aug 20, 2026.
