chromatic_aberration — GFX2D post op

Data kinds: rgbrgb

Call: import gfx2d; gfx2d.chromatic_aberration(rgb, strength=0.003, interp='bilinear') (or opsgfx2d.get("chromatic_aberration"))

Usage

Scale the red and blue channels about the image centre, green fixed.

Lateral chromatic aberration: red is magnified by `1 + strength`, blue by

`1 - strength. strength=0` samples the exact pixel centres and returns

the input to within 1e-15, which the suite checks.

Negative `strength` swaps which channel spreads outward — allowed, since

which way a real lens disperses depends on the glass.
